#HolocaustAleppo

As the crucial battle for Aleppo entered its "final phase" Monday, residents trapped in the 'war zone' posted their 'final messages' on social media.



Bana Alabed, 7, tweeted live along with her mother from East Aleppo. "I am talking to the world now live from East #Aleppo. This is my last moment to either live or die."

Terrified residents have poured out of rebel-held neighbourhoods as the army advanced since the beginning of an operation on November 15. The Observatory said on Monday that another 10,000 people had fled rebel areas over the previous 24 hours, bringing the total number of those who have fled -- mostly to government-held territory -- to 130,000.

Syria's rebels seized control of east Aleppo in 2012, a year into an uprising that began with anti-government protests but spiralled into a complex multi-front conflict, drawing in proxy powers and militant groups such as the Islamic State.

Here are some of the last messages.

Understand this. I can't simply surrender and being captive. I am speaking out and this is a crime. I might then ask death and not got it.

Aleppo genocide isn't fairy tale or horror movie. These are people made from flesh. Souls being sucked from their bodies as world watches.
