    Case in Point: Tweeting and War; a Child’s Voice from Aleppo


    https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-middle-east-38073349

    BanaAlabedwasjustthree-years-oldwhenthewarstartedinSyria.Shewasliving in
    Aleppo with her family when bombs started to drop around her. She says the
    worst moment for her is remembering when her best friend Yasmin died after an
    air attack in theirneighbourhood.

    "TheywerediggingandtheyheldabodyanditwasYasmin.Shewaslikesleeping, but
    she wasn't. She wasdead."

    In 2016, the city of Aleppo came under siege. The roads in and out were blocked
    cutting off food and supplies. The family had stockpiled some rice and macaroni
    and ate that every day as the bombs continued to fall around them.

    It was during this siege that Bana, with the help of her mom Fatemah, started
    sending messages out, on social media.

    "Today my school bombed, my home bombed, my friend died, and my mom and
    me decided to tweeting," says Alabed.

    Some of her tweets are shown in the next page.

    “I am very afraid I will die tonight. This bombs will kill me now”. – Bana #Aleppo
    1:00 AM – Oct 3, 2016

    Alabed’s posts helped bring a seemingly intractable civil war into the perspective
    of a child’s eyes view. It was December of 2016 when Alabed was able to leave
    Aleppo during a ceasefire. She remembers the moment when they finally got to
    eat something other than rice and macaroni.

    “ItisthefirsttimeIatechickenandIhavestomachacheandIvomitbecauseIate fruit and


    chicken and bread. And I feel happy very much,” saysAlabed.

    Now Alabed lives in Turkey with her mom, dad and two younger brothers. She’s
    back at school and wants to be a teacher. She still misses Syria and hopes to be
    able to go home one day.

    Meanwhile,hermomFatemahmarvelsathowbraveandstrongherdaughterwas during
    thewar.

    “You are a hero, Bana, and I am so proud to be your mother.”
