Meet the seven-year-old Syrian girl live tweeting the horrors of war from inside her war-ravaged home city of Aleppo
Twitter account picks up 77k followers in just one month as little Bana and mum Fatemah tweet about butchered school pals
A SCHOOLGIRL from the under-siege Syrian city has attracted more than 77,000 followers as she tweets about kids being slaughtered around her by Russian and Syrian government bombs.
Bana Alabed from Aleppo is just seven but already she has seen some of the worst sights imaginable.
The brave little girl is trapped in the Syrian city which is held by rebels fighting the tyrannical regime of Bashar al-Assad and could be blown to bits at any moment like other hundreds of other children.
The Syrian dictator is being backed by Russian warplanes which are dropping high explosives among civilian areas.
Families, children and old people going about their daily lives are butchered.
Each day Bana witnesses these nightmarish sights and tweets haunting pictures that are too disturbing for Sun Online to publish without blurring them.
One graphic photograph shows an child’s arm still clutching a school bag.
Another shows two dead girls, their eyes frozen open in the moment a bomb dropped on the way to school.
A little bag with a picture of popular children’s character from the computer game Yoshi & Touch Go lies on one of them.

Underneath the horrified Bana tweets: “Went to school this morning and just now is killed by falling bombs in Idlib.
“Look his school bag OMG! I'm crying.”
It is understood that the dead child is a victim of Russian bombs which were widely condemned yesterday by world leaders.
Other tweets tell of a normal life of a little child.
In one she talks of losing her tooth, a rites of passage the world over.
With a photo of her holding missing tooth, she tweets: “Good afternoon. I am happy today because of? Guess. , what about you?’”
But the fact is her life is far from ordinary, and she tweets: “The tooth fairy is afraid of the bombing here, it run away to its hole. When the war finishes, it will come- Bana.”
Another tweet has a video showing her going into a shop.
She says: “Today I was trying to buy sweets and something to eat but there's nothing. - Bana.”
It has emerged that on Wednesday and Thursday that schools in her area in Aleppo had been bombed by Russia killing 22 children.
UK Development Secretary Priti Patel slammed the “barbaric assault on the world’s humanity”.
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake also condemned the deadly attacks.
He said: “Yesterday, when a school compound in Syria was repeatedly attacked, killing dozens of children and teachers, we thought we had seen the depths of depravity.
“Today’s reports of attacks on schools in Douma and western Aleppo should deepen our disgust and outrage.
Mr Lake added: “This brings the toll to five schools hit since October 11.
“Attacking schools … killing children … is simply inhuman.
“If the perpetrators cannot find their own sense of humanity, they should heed the condemnation of the world."
But while anti-Assad rebels in Aleppo staged a fight back, it is alleged their Grad missiles killed at least 15 people in the government held part of the city.
The outrages follows reports that ISIS is slaughtering families in war-torn Syria by rigging their homes with explosives hidden in everyday household items.
In sickening echoes of Nazi World War 2 tactics, vengeful jihadis are lacing family homes, schools and hospitals with death traps as they are chased out of their strongholds.
