A seven-year-old Syrian girl says goodbye to Twitter in the midst of bombings

A Syrian girl of seven years, which has attracted international attention tweeting about everyday life in the area controlled by the rebels in the east of Aleppo area, shared a message Sunday night saying his house had been bombed.

"Tonight we do not have a house, it was bombed and I only have debris. I saw dead and I almost died," tweeted Bana Alabed. On Monday, her mother posted an update saying the family was running away.

Syrian regime forces launched a ground assault on Saturday, snatching control of a number of neighborhoods from northeastern Aleppo to the rebels. It is the biggest victory for the Syrian regime since the uprising began more than five years ago.

Fatemah, Bana's mother told CNN that her home was directly impacted Sunday night, forcing them out onto the street to wait for the planes to leave and the bombing cease.

Fatemah, 26, set up a Twitter account for her daughter in late September to "share our life here with the world," while the Syrian army launched a major offensive to retake Aleppo.

"Last message. [We are] under heavy bombardment now, we can not stay alive. When we die, keep talking about the 200,000 who are still inside. Goodbye, "Fatemah tweeted Sunday night before publishing a photograph of his daughter Bana in which she appeared to be covered in dust.

The activist news agency SMART News Agency said on Sunday that air strikes hit the al-Shaar neighborhood, where the Bana family lives, injuring at least five people.

A video shared by SMART showed people in al-Shaar walking away from the scene after the fact.

Fatemah told CNN via a direct Twitter message that her kids - Mohamed aged 5; Noor, 3, and Bana- were not injured during the bombing and his family sought refuge in a neighboring house Saturday night.

Hundreds of civilians have left the eastern part of Aleppo, controlled by the rebels, since the assault that occurred this weekend. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in the United Kingdom, said that the number of civilians who have left the city amounts to the thousands.

The Syrian army told state news agency SANA that its units secured evacuation routes for 1,500 people from eastern Aleppo to areas controlled by the regime on Sunday.

On Monday Bana tweeted asking people to pray in the midst of the bombings. Heavy artillery fired by regime forces continued. The Al-Shaar neighborhood remained the target of intense artillery fire by Syrian regime forces on Monday, according to activists at the Aleppo Media Center.

A local Aleppo activist said on Twitter that he knew nothing about Bana's whereabouts and his family, but that "his neighborhood had been heavily attacked."

A few hours later, Fatemah tweeted that his family was fleeing.

"We are fleeing because many people have died from heavy bombardment. We are fighting for our lives. Still with you, "said Fatemah.

"I do not want to die," is the latest message on Bana's Twitter account.

Strange disease known as 'storm asthma' leaves 6 dead in Australia

 Thousands were hospitalized in Melbourne and other parts of Victoria this Monday with breathing problems due to a strange combination of pollen and weather conditions.

A week later, another 12 people are receiving hospital treatment, including 3 that are in critical condition, according to the health authorities of that country.

'Storm asthma' occurs when a storm strikes during an unusual period of high concentration of pollen and moisture, which causes the kernels to break and disperse, entering people's lungs and making breathing difficult.

In a survey by the University of Melbourne, 74% of respondents said they had experienced an asthma attack during the storm last week.

Health emergency

Although pollen is the most common cause of 'storm asthma', attacks can also be caused by high levels of tree pollen and fungal spores in the atmosphere.

"This varies by geography," said Aziz Sheikh, a professor of Basic Care and Development at the University of Edingburgh, adding that pollen from olive trees, for example, has been found at asthma events in patients from Italy in years Past

The levels of fungal spores in the atmosphere reach a high point during harvesting, and those can also break and fly in the wind during large storms due to high atmospheric pressure, according to Sheikh.

An official review of how Victoria emergency services have been responding to 'storm asthma' cases is currently underway.

More than 60 extra ambulances had to be put into operation to respond to the more than 1,900 emergency calls they received in four hours, one call every 4 or 5 seconds.

The desperate plea of ​​the people of Aleppo calling for humanitarian aid to the world

A group of people stands proud against a horizon crumbles. The exhaustion of their cause is written on their faces.

Dressed in the uniforms of their trades, the men hold flags of the Syrian opposition, while a woman grabs a baby.

They are a coalition of activists including doctors and civil servants from rebel-held areas of Aleppo.

In an unusual message in English, this group of people sent a desperate plea asking the US-led coalition to send humanitarian aid from the air.

In the video appears a man known as Dr. Hamza al-Khatib, who stands in the middle of the group, takes the floor and speaks in English.

It makes a dark journey of the misery of Aleppo based on figures of that collation of activists:

- 500,000 people killed in six years 
- At least 271,536 people trapped in eastern Aleppo, controlled by the rebels, he says, citing the City Council of Aleppo 
- At least 2,300 bombardments documented in the last 23 days: air strikes, explosive barrels, artillery, cluster bombs, gas-charged bombs 
- 4 hospitals hit in the last week, along with six schools, civil defense buildings and two bakeries.

CNN can not independently verify the death toll in Syria, but the United Nations says the number is 400,000.

Al-Khatib accuses the Russian and Syrian air forces of intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure to "break the will of the people," despite Russia's refusal to attack civilian infrastructure.

People who starve, dying, with little or no access to medical care, are afraid to go to hospitals, he says, for fear of becoming victims of the latest bombings.

The last six years have been a "slow-motion train clash" leaving him and his colleagues wondering what the United Nations is for.The doctor calls on the international community to press for the following:

To ground the Bashar al-Assad air force or use diplomatic influence to end the bombing of Russia and Syria against the city.

Open a demilitarized corridor under the control of the United Nations to bring food, fuel, medicine and infrastructure, as well as supplements for water stations, electricity, hospitals, schools and civil defense.

If this is not possible, they call for the launching of humanitarian aid from the sky using United States-led coalition planes in Syria.

The international community has the fate of Aleppo in their hands, he says. Will he pay attention to their cry?

Asad regime forces recover key neighborhood in Aleppo

Syrian regime forces have entered the east of Aleppo and retook parts of its largest district, launching a ground assault to take control of rebel - controlled area.

The offensive to recover the key area of ​​Masaken Hanano was backed by regime air strikes and marked the first time government forces have retaken a significant part in eastern Aleppo since the rebels seized the area more than four years ago.

Government forces also entered the Jabal Badru neighborhood on Sunday, dividing eastern Aleppo into two.

Aleppo is divided between government-controlled areas in the west and rebels in the east. Bachar al Asad promised to retake the entire city, which was once the commercial heart of Syria and is now one of the last urban redoubts still in the hands of the rebels.

East of the city has become the epicenter of Syria's brutal five-year civil war. Much of it has been reduced to rubble due to the intense bombing of regime forces backed by the Russian air force, while the humanitarian crisis has a catastrophic scale.

At least 46 people were killed and 325 wounded on Saturday when regime forces entered the eastern city, according to Syrian Civil Defense volunteer rescue group, also known as the White Helmets, and activist Aleppo Media Center.

White Helmets said there were at least 150 air strikes and 2,500 artillery shells in and around the city on Saturday.

The Syrian army said Sunday that its units are securing the exit routes of 1,500 people from eastern Aleppo to the regime areas, according to state news agency SANA.

But some civilians told CNN that they were not going to leave Aleppo because they had nowhere else to go. Many say they fear reprisals or be separated from their families.

10,000 people leave Aleppo

About 10,000 people have left rebel-controlled areas in eastern Aleppo in recent days amid sweeping advances by the Syrian army, according to a UK-based human rights watchdog.

About 6,000 people have fled to areas controlled by Kurdish forces, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Monday.

In addition, more than 3,000 civilians - more than half as children - have fled to government-controlled areas of the city in the last 24 hours, according to Russian and Syrian state media quoting the Russian reconciliation center in Syria which is located in The military base of Hmeymim.

Syrian state news agency SANA reported that "hundreds" more civilians fled to parts controlled by the city government.

"A nightmare without end"

The UN agency for children, UNICEF, reported that about half a million children live in a state of siege in Syria, a figure that has doubled in less than a year.

Children live in 16 areas, deprived of aid and basic services, UNICEF said.

"For millions of human beings in Syria, life has become an endless nightmare - particularly for hundreds of thousands of children living in a state of siege. Children are being killed and wounded, they are too afraid to go to School or even play, survive with little food and almost no medicine, "UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said in a statement.

UNICEF estimates that 100,000 children live under siege alone in the east of Aleppo alone. It is believed that about 250,000 people are trapped there.

Do you remember the giant sump that Japan repaired in record time? It's sinking again

The giant hole that was repaired in record time in Japan earlier this month is showing signs of movement.

Traffic stopped at the busy intersection in the Japanese city of Fukuoka at the weekend, after the road began to sink about seven inches.

Earlier this month, a hole 30 meters wide and 15 meters deep opened suddenly, swallowing five lanes of the road.

It was repaired in a matter of days, in what was seen as a testament to the efficiency of Japanese engineering.

However, some doubts questioned those initial applauses, when on Saturday the traffic had to be stopped because the drain was opening again. The road was already reopened.

On Facebook, the mayor of Fukuoka, Soichiro Takashima, apologized for not warning residents that the ground could sink again.

City officials told CNN that some movement was expected as long as the sand and cement used to fill the hole did not settle.

Last year, a massive hole in Florida that caused a man's death to open under his bedroom, appeared again, sparking renewed fears among local residents.

4 persons linked to ISIS are detained in Spain

The Spanish Civil Guard arrested Monday four people linked to a network of illegal immigration that could have been used by ISIS, the Ministry of Interior in a statement.

Two people were arrested in the province of A Coruña, in the northwest, and two others in Almeria, in the south of the country.

According to the communiqué, the network with which the detainees would have been in contact would operate on the so-called "Syrian refugee route" between Turkey and Eastern Europe and would be the same framework used in October 2015 by various ISIS members to Enter Europe, along with the perpetrators of the attacks in Paris last November.

According to the investigations, the detainees would have been in contact, both before and after the attacks, with at least one of the terrorists detained in Austria a month later. The specialists of the Information Service of the Civil Guard try to determine if these contacts are linked to the terrorist plot or if they are actions derived from the irregular immigration network itself.

That network was responsible for the landing of almost 200 immigrants on the Greek island of Leros on 3 October 2015.

Since 2015, when the Ministry of the Interior has raised the Anti-Terrorism Alert Level to 4, the Security Forces have arrested a total of 168 jihadists.
