Evacuation buses leave Syrian villages under Aleppo deal
- 8 years ago
Ten buses carrying evacuees from the Shi'ite Muslim villages of al-Foua and Kefraya, besieged by rebels, arrived in government-held Aleppo. The evacuation from the Syrian villages is part of the deal for the exchange of releasing civilians trapped in East Aleppo. The evacuation came only a day after six buses were attacked and burned before they were able to leave the villages. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that government forces allowed five buses to leave rebel-held parts of east Aleppo Sunday.
