The world first became familiar with Bana al-Abed in September, when the seven-year-old started posting on Twitter about her experiences of life in Aleppo.

Earlier in December, as the situation in Aleppo worsened, al-Abed’s 320,000 followers feared that the girl and her family would be killed. However, the girl described as “our era’s Anne Frank” is among those who were evacuated from Aleppo on Monday.
