The little girl who broke millions of hearts after surrendering to a camera she mistook for a gun is now in the clutches of Al Qaeda, the MailOnline can exclusively reveal. Four-year-old Hudea was pictured late last year by photographer Osman Sagirli in Atmeh refugee camp, just 10km from the border with Turkey. She, her mother and three siblings are understood to have been living in the Syrian camp since Hudea's father was killed in the 2012 Hama massacre. But two weeks ago, the family took a fateful decision to move south, towards the city of Idlib - only for it to fall into the hands of Al Qaeda's brutal Syrian affiliate at the weekend. It means, once more, the family are in danger of becoming victims of a battle between the regime and rebels which has killed 220,000 since 2011 - 10,000 of whom were children. Scroll down for video . Harrowing: Taken at the Atmeh refugee camp on Syria's border with Turkey, the image shows four-year-old Hudea frozen in fear with her arms raised and her lips tightly pursed . Hudea and her family left the camp two weeks ago; it is thought they headed for Idlib - now in the control of Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra. Pictured: An Al-Nusra fighter holds his group flag  in front of Idlib's governor building . Sharia law: Al-Nusra have promised to bring in Sharia law in the city, and have already started burning things considered banned under Islam - like these cigarettes . The Nusra Front-led rebels is set impose Sharia law on the city, which is only the second state capital to fall from the grip of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. 'We salute the people of Idlib and their stand with their sons, the Mujahideen, ... and God willing they will enjoy the justice of sharia, which will preserve their religion and their blood,' said Abu Mohamad al-Golani, Nusra Front's leader, in a recording released on Wednesday. This is horrifying news for those living under the Nusra Front. The group group has a reputation for violence which is only rivaled by the horrors seen in ISIS-controlled territory. Charlie Winter, of the Qilliam Foundation, warned: 'Jabhat al-Nusra is an outspoken al-Qaeda affiliate. It espouses a severe interpretation of Islam and sharia law. 'They have been known to execute women who are allegedly running brothels, and stone adulterers. It is a violent interpretation of sharia law.' Indeed, the group appears to be all but following in the footsteps of ISIS, who have terrified the world with an onslaught of violence, including throwing people from the tops of buildings and getting small children to shoot so-called spies dead. Worringly, the Nusra Front - who reiterated their allegiance to Al Qaeda in the last month - have said they want to create their own 'Islamic state'. The group is known for its use of suicide bombers as it tries to achieve its goal, and has claimed responsibility for mass executions, murdered journalists and even priests in the past few years. In the days since they took control of Idlib, there have been reports of two Christian men being executed, while the Vatican - citing local news sources - claimed a Greek Orthodox priest had been kidnapped by jihadists. Fight: The city fell after a four day battle which saw fighters on both sides lose their lives . Flee: It is thought about 15,000 people ran from the city as the Nusra Front approached . Trauma: Save the Children reports many of the children were traumatised by what they had seen . For a child like Hudea, who has clearly already been left horribly traumatised by a war which has been raging her entire life, life under the strict sharia law is likely to be nothing be more terrifying. But life is no better under the Syrian regime: indeed, it is al-Assad's fighters who were said to be behind the Hama massacre in which she lost her father. Pro-government militia killed at least 55 people that day, going from house to house, murdering men, women and children. It was after this the family fled north, to the camp near the border with Turkey, which has grown to become a home to 30,000 refugees. But despite being so close to the safety of Turkey, the family appear to have never made it across. Instead, for reasons unknown to MailOnline's source within the camp, they decided to leave the camp - venturing out into territory which has changed hands between the different rebel factions and the al-Assad regime numerous times over the last four years. The MailOnline's source within the camp said: 'The child does not exist now in the camp. They fled to a village in Idlib about two weeks ago.' Wherever they have gone, it means the family are trapped once more between three violent sides - none of which are prepared to stop until they have wiped the other off the face of the earth. Relative safety: Many of the 15,000 are headed to refugee camps like Atmeh, near the Turkish border - but it is not known where Hudea and her small family are . Civil war: Fighting has been going on Hudea's entire life, killing 10,000 children since 2011. Pictured: Atmeh, her home after he father was killed in 2012 . And living in an area recently won by one side, does not guarantee survival - or peace. A source in the Syrian military force told EA World View: 'We have an obligation to liberate the city... I swear to god the highest we are not scared.' Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at University of Oklahoma, was also certain Damascus would not give up without a fight. He told Bloomberg: 'Assad will likely bomb Idlib so that its captors find little peace in their new prize.' Mr Winter thinks it is unlikely they will have gone to areas controlled by the Syrian government. One suspects the memory of what they did to her husband will mean Hudea's mother will keep her family away from al-Assad's forces. But villages not in the control of the regime have come under attack since Nusra Front's assault on Idlib - which itself sent 15,000 people fleeing for their lives. Ironically, many are making their way to the refugee camps in the north - like Atmeh, the safe haven Hudea has just left. And now there are reports of the regime using chlorine-filled bombs against the towns surrounding Idlib - a new horror for the little girl and her family to contend with. One can only imagine how Hudea, caught in the crossfire in a fight she is too young to understand and so scared already she surrenders to cameras, will respond to any of this.
Hudea and her family are thought to have gone to Idlib two weeks ago . But Idlib fell to Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate at weekend after four day battle . Al Nusra's leader has now promised to bring in sharia law in the city . Already started burning banned items and two Christians killed by jihadists .
