Noor and Alaa, two young girls in East Ghouta, Syria, who have been documenting the bombardment of the region by Syrian forces, appeared in a video on Thursday, February 22, showing injuries to Alaa and severe damage to their home.

The video was posted to a Twitter account run by their mother, an English teacher. The video was preceded by a tweet saying, “Our house is destroyed Alaa is injured.”
