Seven-year-old Bana Al-Abed, a resident of Aleppo in Syria, has been live-tweeting bombings in the besieged city as they happen. Video posted on her Twitter feed shows the young girl staring into the night sky with her fingers in her ears, flinching as explosion after explosion rings out. “I am very afraid I will die tonight. This bombs will kill me now. – Bana,” she wrote.

Joint operations by the Syrian and Russian military have bombed the city unrelentingly, hoping to drive the rebels into submission. Together with her mother, Bana has spent the past few weeks sharing photos and videos of what life is like for the ordinary Syrian citizens who live there.
