Media reported that Bana and her family sought shelter in a neighbouring house and were relatively safe.
Bana Alabed’s twitter account was created on late Septemver to give an insight to the daily life of war-torn Syria.
Around 200,000 civilians has been still living under siege in the eatern Aleppo.
“We are under siege for some three months … the people here are suffering from hunger, and now they are suffering from bombs, they don’t know how … how they deal with this, this, inhumanity,” Fatemah told media.
Aleppo, Syria’s largest city and former commercial centre, has been a conflicted ground since the summer of 2012.
