'Warplanes Bombed Our Building' - Children of East Ghouta Show Damage to Neighborhood

Noor and Alaa, two young girls in East Ghouta, Syria, who have been documenting the ongoing attacks on the region by Syrian forces, appealed for help on March 16 in a video that showed the damage caused in their neighborhood.

A tweet on their account on March 15 said farewell to those monitoring their updates as, the tweet said, Assad forces were storming their neighbourhood.

In this video, the two girls appear against a backdrop of destroyed buildings. Noor says “I am still alive. Last night we couldn’t sleep because of warplanes.” She says between 20 and 30 attacks were carried out overnight and during the early morning in their neighborhood. She says they are very scared and appealed for help. Credit: Noor And Alaa via Storyful
