Starvation in Gaza + the Uber drivers jacking up prices

Hack

About this episode

Palestinian health authorities say 133 people have died from starvation in Gaza in the last week, and 87 were children. 

As Israel begins military pauses and airdrops of supplies, it's denying the reports of starvation. 

Plus, Uber passengers could be paying up to 3 times the true cost of their trip because drivers are gaming the system.

We speak with a driver about how it works.
