‘We are not terrorists. We are like your children’: Crying Syrian girl sends message to Trump

Bana Alabed is just seven years old, and she has a powerful message to share with the world.

Bana became rather well known when she started tweeting from Aleppo, detailing the horrors of life for Syrians caught up in airstrikes during the ongoing civil war.

Bana escaped Aleppo in December last year.

In a Daily Beast video, Bana addresses Trump:
