Seven-year-old Syrian girl documenting war experience on Twitter says goodbye

Damascus: The online account of Bana Alabed, a seven-year-old Syrian girl documenting her experience of the war in Aleppo in English with the help of her mother on Twitter has become the focus of the world for asking for pray and saying goodbye.  The latest tweets on her account says, "Under attack. Nowhere to go, every minute feels like death. Pray for us. Goodbye - Fatemah."  Most tweets showed details of life in the war-torn city, using photos, videos or periscopes.  Media across the globe have paid close attention to the account. No verification about the tweets has been reported.

The Syrian army says it will press on with the operation until all rebel-held areas in eastern Aleppo were recaptured. The rebels captured eastern Aleppo in 2012, and the government forces recently imposed a siege on that area before unleashing a broad offensive for its recapture. Humanitarian organisations sounded the alarm about the situation of 250,000 people living in eastern Aleppo, with the government promising to fix the situation of those relocated in government-controlled areas.
