Her mother posts on her behalf, shedding light on her daughter's struggle and determination to grow up in a capital darkened by violence.

Yesterday, Bana shared photos and videos of dust clouds caused by explosives rising extremely close to her home.

Concerning captions read, "We are so scared, pray for us."

The string of tweets included one with the words, "Please save us right now."

The army got in, this could be our last days sincerely talking. No internet. Please please please pray for us.

Last message - under heavy bombardments now, can't be alive anymore. When we die, keep talking for 200,000 still inside. BYE.

Good afternoon from #Aleppo I'm reading to forget the war.

Hi I'm Bana I'm 7 years old girl. I and my mom are tweeting live from East Aleppo. Account managed by mom.
