There is, however, no explanation as to exactly why the account, which the seven-year-old shared with her mother Fatemah, was deleted.

If nothing else, the last tweet was foreboding:


The girl’s tweets on life in the besieged city, that was once Syria’s commercial centre, had generated a huge following.

By the time it disappeared more than 100,000 people followed her.

As CNN reported, the last tweet was not completely out of the ordinary for a city that has been subject to intense bombing since September.

On November 27, she posted: ‘Under heavy bombardments now. In between death and life now, please keep praying for us.’



The account was created by Fatemah for her daughter inlate September. Both live in the rebel controlled east of the city.

Other posts included videos in which the sounds of bombs exploding could be clearly heard.
