Young girl tweets ‘can’t be alive anymore’ from east Aleppo before house is bombed

"A SMALL girl has become the face of hundreds of thousands of starving, sick, injured and dying Syrians and today she’s lucky to be alive.
Bana Alabed, 7, has been tweeting from war-torn east Aleppo where, as recently as last week, it was reported hundreds of thousands of residents are “days from starvation”.

Winter is coming, but that’s far from the most serious threat facing Bana, her family and those trapped on the outskirts of the city.
A fierce fighting campaign between rebels and government forces is intensifying, claiming civilian lives every day.

On Saturday, her Twitter account — which has 124,000 followers and growing and is used by her and her mother — shared a heartbreaking message as bombs dropped near her home.

“Last message — under heavy bombardments now, can’t be alive anymore. When we die, keep talking for 200,000 still alive. Bye.”

It was signed off “Fatemah”, who is Bana’s mother.

At least a dozen civilians are believed to have been killed in the bombings. Bana’s house was destroyed but her and her family survived.

Later, Bana tweeted a picture of herself on Monday morning covered in dust with the words: “Tonight we have no house, it’s bombed and got in rubble. I saw deaths and almost died.”

The seven-year-old’s account is disturbing but important viewing. She shares images and videos of bombs dropping on the city, proof of a deadly campaign denied by both Syrian and Russian forces.

Often she shares images of dead bodies covered in blood and dust — among them are children she grew up playing with.

Through her tweets, it becomes clear how the situation in Syria is deteriorating. Reports from journalists trapped in the city are further proof of that.

UN food rations were distributed on November 11 but it’s believed 275,000 people are trapped in freezing conditions, starving and under constant threat of artillery strikes.

There was some relief on Sunday, according to reports. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said as many as 400 civilians were freed from eastern Aleppo over the weekend.

Syrian state media said government forces had on Saturday captured Masaken Hanano, the largest rebel-held district of Aleppo, in what would be a major breakthrough in the regime’s offensive to retake the entire city."

She is the same girl J.K. Rowling sent Harry Potter books to.

I wonder how this girl access Internet to tweet?

[Jehan]

7 years old and she is already fluent in english and acheive to make perfect tweet. Oh in fact that's her "mom" who manages the account.

I don't want to be the cold heart guy but it's seems fake as fuck.

I don't want to be the cold heart guy but it's seems fake as f*ck.

That's seems to be the goal of this poster. The slightest chance of being wrong in such situation would be too scary for most people. Imagine a little girl in ruined city living under imminent threat of being killed by Assad's shells or Russian bombs. Most people would be so emotionally charged after painting the picture in their minds they won't look for logical inconsistencies of the story.

But creator of the tweet account is very likely to have little idea of life in ruined city during active combat action. A few simple questions would make any rational person think if it's even real. How this girl access Internet? Are there any IPs still operational in the area? Why weren't they blocked by army to prevent insurgents from communicating? If they weren't blocked why there are virtually no other people using it to report on events? Why reporters don't use it in their news coverage but have to get away from combat areas before they can publish their materials? How this girl recharges her device she uses to access Internet? Is there still power in ruined city? Why wasn't it switched off? The whole setting when they barely have any water or food but have perfectly working Internet is simply unrealistic.

I posted the article so that people could tear it apart. Not much was said because the whole thing was ridiculous and I wanted to see who would fall for it. The Syrian rebel's arguments always lack credibility and rely on sensationalism to fool the masses. My goal was to highlight the obvious manipulation in the MSM. In this case, the much loved J.K Rowling is used as a tool by the MSM to gain public sympathy.

I wonder why there are no little girls reading Harry Potter and tweeting in Mosul.

Living in a war zone forces you to grow up much faster.

Because Mosul is ~99% Muslim and Aleppo is largely Non-Muslim.

Muslims generally do not read books, especially not Harry Potter.
