Aleppo atrocities: desperate tweets from the depths of hell

Here's a glimpse at Aleppo before and after the atrocities started:

The Syrian government has recently taken back the city of Aleppo – one of Syria’s biggest cities – and hordes of people have already been killed in the war stricken district. Elderly people, children and everyone in between are trapped inside while the government battles their opposition for control of the city. A terrible civil war has been raging in Syria between the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad’s, Free Syrian Army and an opposition group supported by rebels.

I can tweet now but I might not do it forever. please save my daughter's life and others. this is a call from a father. — @Mr.Alhamdo (@Mr_Alhamdo) December 12, 2016

While civilians wait to be rescued and evacuate from the city, they are sharing heart-breaking messages on Twitter about the atrocities that are part and parcel of a violent civil war.

The army is so near now. I don't know what to do. only way to flee is to regime side which I fear coz they will kill me. - Fatemah #Aleppo — Bana Alabed (@AlabedBana) December 11, 2016

“Final message - I am very sad no one is helping us in this world, no one is evacuating me & my daughter. Goodbye.- Fatemah,” wrote the mother of seven-year-old, Bana, who grabbed the internet’s attention with her honest Twitter posts about the war.

I would like to thank all the humans whose stood for the humanity with our case, i will never forget you if we passed to the other life — Monther Etaky (@montheretaky) December 12, 2016

A teacher shared an emotional video in which he says that the president’s forces are only a few metres away and this is probably his last few moments alive. He begs people to help take care of children like his little daughter.

The government powers who have regained power of the city are at a tipping point in the war. If you’d like to learn more about the civil war in Syria watch the below video.
