Evacuation Underway in East Aleppo: A Ground Report
As many as 25,000 people have fled the war-ravaged Syrian city of Aleppo in a matter of few days.
The International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday said that as many as 25,000 people have fled the war-ravaged Syrian city of Aleppo since rebels effectively surrendered the area under an Ankara and Moscow-brokered deal.
Eastern Aleppo is now at the mercy of President Assad’s forces. Here is a ground report from the city.
The Red Cross says 10 more buses have arrived to the west Aleppo countryside in northern Syria evacuating residents from the opposition's last foothold in eastern Aleppo.
Ingy Sedky, Damascus spokeswoman for the ICRC, says evacuations would continue throughout the day.
