Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSeven-year-old Bana al-Abed, whose Twitter account has offered a tragic account of the war in Syria, was evacuated from the divided Syrian city of Aleppo today and was set to be brought to Turkey, Turkish officials and aid workers say.
The young Syrian girl is one of thousands of people evacuated from once rebel-held areas of Aleppo in the last days under a deal brokered by Turkey and Russia.
“This morning @AlabedBana was also rescued from #Aleppo with her family. We warmly welcomed them,” Turkish NGO the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) wrote on its Twitter account, sharing an IHH aid worker’s selfie picture with the girl.
