Meet the seven-year-old girl tweeting from Aleppo

Seven-year-old Bana Alabed tweeted a photo a week ago, sitting at a desk with a book, her doll in the background. "Good afternoon from Aleppo," the caption read. "I'm reading to forget the war."

Aleppo, Syria's second city, has been split in two during the country's long conflict. Russian and Syrian forces have been bombing eastern Aleppo on a constant basis for weeks.
