The first two posts shared on Dec. 12, stated that this is the “final” message from the little girl and her family, all of who are fighting for dear life in Aleppo, a city that has now become a slaughter house.

Civilians are being killed walking in the streets and new reports released have said that women are committing suicide over fears of being raped.

The young Syrian elementary aged girl went silent earlier this month, and amid concern about Bana’s safety is was broken via Twitter.

The message that appeared, told all of her social media followers that she is doing “fine” and getting “better” without medicine in an undisclosed location.

In recent weeks, the city of Aleppo has faced relentless airstrikes, which has left families and people still trapped in the land with little hope.

Media outlets, have also reported the destruction of all the hospitals in the area.

Bana Alabed, is a seven-year-old that was forced to flee with her family last month, when her home was bombed, according to a Twitter account bearing her name.

The post read “Tonight we have no house, it’s bombed & I got in rubble. I saw deaths and I almost died. – Bana #Aleppo”

The series of new messages that came in the last 48 hours and after this one, verbalizes the story of many Syrians who are forced out.

The first message proceeding, was posted roughly ten hours ago and states that the whole family, including two other little children, are officially on the run.

Stating, “Under heavy bombardments now. In between death and life now, please keep praying for us. #Aleppo”
