Syria, Aleppo: Evacuation resumes

ENG

Early this morning, Monday 19th December, all sides to the conflict gave renewed security guarantees to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Both organizations were able to resume evacuating the thousands of people in need from Eastern Aleppo City.

The evacuation will likely take several more days to complete. As yet, more than 15,000 people have been able to leave Eastern Aleppo City for rural areas in Aleppo and Idlib. SARC and ICRC will continue to work around the clock to ensure that all those who want can leave as soon as possible, and will continue to give priority to the most urgent cases, such as the injured and sick.

In addition, the SARC with the support of the ICRC is facilitating the transfer of civilians of Foua and Kefraya through Western Rural Aleppo to Aleppo City.
