Ten more buses reach Idlib from Aleppo

Being interrupted a couple of times since Dec. 14, when a ceasefire deal was struck between warring parties, the evacuations are now continuing somehow despite some hindrances.

Ten more buses have reportedly reached to Idlib on Tuesday morning from East Aleppo, which underwent a brutal siege campaign of the Assad regime and its allies.

Among East Aleppo evacuees, 148 severely wounded civilians have so far been brought to Turkey's southeastern Hatay province, adjacent to Syria, for medical treatment.

The dispatch of those heavily wounded to Turkey are still continuing, according to Prime Ministerial Directorate General of Press and Information.

Previously, a convoy of 60 buses relocated civilians in Idlib on Monday night, while 14 other buses carrying Shi'ite evacuees from al-Foua and Kefraya villages were directed towards Aleppo yesterday.

Meanwhile, 8 buses driving Shi'ites have departed from the villages in northern Syria today, as part of the deal which stipulates the reciprocal evacuation of civilians from two war zones.

Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs stated on his twetter account today that the number of Aleppan evacuees has escalated around 37,500 together with the last convoys, and he added that they are closely monitoring the developments.
