Bana Alabed, the seven-year-old girl who has been tweeting about life in the devastation of eastern Aleppo, has been safely evacuated from the city.
President of the Syrian American Medical Society Ahmad Tarakji tweeted a picture of Bana, showing her safe and well.
The tweet said: ".@AlabedBana and many children arrived to #Aleppo countryside. @sams_usa @UOSSM and partners arr coordinating the response plan there."
The messages from the account, which she shares with her mother Fatemah, had gotten increasingly desperate, detailing how their home was destroyed and they narrowly escaped death.
Then the account, with some 100,000 followers, disappeared. Searches for Bana's twitter handle turned up a "Sorry, that page doesn't exist" message.
In one message she wrote: "Tonight we have no house, it's bombed & I got in rubble. I saw deaths and I almost died - Bana #Aleppo."
Another said: "My friends this is not the moon, the is bomb falling now. Please pray for us tonight. I am afraid. - Bana #Aleppo."
Her tweets had given an insight into the terrifying, daily struggle of people in Aleppo as they endured bombs, airstrikes and ground battles.
