UPDATE(Monday, Dec. 5, 2016, 1:40 p.m. ET):As of Monday afternoon, Bana's Twitter account was once again active. Twitter followers are concerned following the disappearance of the account of Bana al-Abed, a seven-year-old who has shared her experiences of living in the war zone of Aleppo, Syria on the social media platform. No explanation was given to her followers prior to the Twitter account deletion. It's been a little less than a week since Bana tweeted what was described as her "last message," though the girl had sent out tweets since then, including one on Sunday, just before her Twitter account unexpectedly disappeared. According to CNN, her final tweet was, "We are sure the army is capturing us now. We will see each other another day dear world. Bye.- Fatemah #Aleppo." Bana has captured the hearts of thousands of followers by sharing her tragic story, one of tens of thousands of stories of children in Aleppo, a region utterly decimated by bombings and ongoing violence. The young girl made headlines when she reached out to Harry Potterauthor J.K. Rowling, who responded by sending Bana a set of the series' books. Days after her "last message," the young girl told Mashablethat she and her mother had been displaced from their home. Talking to Mashablevia direct message on Twitter, Bana Alabed said they were still trapped in the rebel-held areas in the eastern part of the city. "Still inside, we can't escape. If we go to regime side, they will kill us. We received many death threats," she said. "We're just waiting. We're together."Tweet may have been deleted
