Social media adds a significant immediacy and empathy over news reports when "ordinary" people in the midst of events are recording their experiences and emotions as they go. I stayed up way too late last night following such via Twitter.
I hope all is reasonably well for your niece, and that that wellness keeps expanding out to all affected to a greater degree than anticipated.
Cheers,
