Bana Alabed, a seven-year-old Syrian girl who about her experiences of the daily horrors of life in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, arrived safely outside the city on Dec. 19, according to multiple activist reports.

According to a Turkish NGO, Bana arrived in Rashidin on a bus Monday morning among a group of 1,500 people.

On Dec. 16, Bana and her mother had made a sombre plea to First Lady Michelle Obama to help get them out of Aleppo safely.

 

 

Her last tweet, posted Sunday, had indicated that the family were in danger.

 

 

On Monday, Turkey鈥檚 Humanitarian Relief Foundation announced Bana鈥檚 evacuation on social media with pictures of her smiling, wearing a knitted hat and black coat and posing with one of the humanitarian workers.

 

 

Several other activist reports confirmed that Bana was among those evacuated from the city on Monday.

 

 

 

 

Thousands of people have been evacuated from the city on buses or in Red Cross ambulances in recent days.

More than 4,500 civilians have left rebel-held parts of eastern Aleppo so far on Monday, according to Turkey鈥檚 foreign minister.

Bana and her mother appeared in a video interview posted on Youtube by Qasioun News Agency Monday, in which Fatemah speaks about the evacuation and the siege of east Aleppo鈥檚 rebel-held areas.

鈥淲e want to tell the whole world how much kids and all the people in east Aleppo are suffering from bombs and everything, because there is no life there,鈥� she said in the video.

She added that she is sad to leave as she doesn鈥檛 want to be a refugee but had no choice.

鈥淲e cannot stay there because there is a lot of bombs, no clean water, no medicine. [鈥 We stayed like prisoners, but finally we arrive here and we thank God,鈥� she said.

In another video with Syrian journalist and activist Hadi al-Abdallah, Bana speaks in Arabic about the destruction of her home, saying the evacuation was difficult as they only had water during the journey.

 

 

According to a tweet, the family lost their home during the last government offensive against the rebels.

 

 

Bana thanks God and everyone for their support in the video.

Bana started tweeting in September this year and has amassed over 300,000 followers including celebrities such as J.K. Rowling.

There are still thought to be around 10,000 people still in east Aleppo but the UN鈥檚 humanitarian advisor on Syria, tweeted that the evacuation effort was 鈥渘ow in full swing鈥�.
