'Mr Trump, have you ever gone hungry?' Syrian 'Twitter girl' Bana Alabed asks US President in new video

Damascus: Bana al-Abed, the seven-year-old girl who gained world's attention through her tweets about the destruction of Aleppo in Syria, has urged US President Donald Trump to think of the children of the war-ravaged country.

"Have you ever had no food, no water for 24 hours? Just think of refugees and the children of Syria," Alabed had asked the US President on Twitter.

Alabed had earlier responded to a tweet of Trump wherein he had argued that the intention of his immigration ban was "about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!"

Alabed responded by asking, "Am I a terrorist?"

Trump recently signed an executive order that bans the entry of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations, including Syria, into the US that evoked widespread panic among travellers.

Soon after the ban, Alabed tweeted: "Dear Trump, banning refugees is very bad. Ok, if it's good, I have an idea for you. Make other countries peaceful."

Alabed has been posting, with her mother Fatemah's help, heart-rending and emotionally strong tweets about life in the war-torn Syrian city of Aleppo.

Alabed and her mother have garnered more than 366,000 followers since September 2016 as they tweet regularly about war in Aleppo, including the story of her house being destroyed.
