2,538 people leave Syria's Al-Waer to Jarabulus

HOMS, SYRIA - APRIL 08: A fourth group of opposition fighters and civilians have left the Al-Waer district of Syria's western Homs province amid repeated ceasefire violations by the Assad regime and allies on April 07, 2017 in Homs, Syria. Some 2,538 people aboard 55 buses left the district to the Zogora refugee camp in Aleppo's town of Jarabulus, which was captured from the Daesh terrorist group last summer by the Turkey-led Operation Euphrates Shield, according to Anadolu Agency reporters in the area. The fresh group of evacuees included 733 women, 871 children, 55 patients and 12 injured people. The convoy was accompanied by two trucks carrying the evacuees' belongings and 12 ambulances of the Syrian Red Crescent. The evacuation was conducted under a Russia-backed deal struck between the Syrian opposition and regime with a view to transferring opposition fighters to Idlib or to other opposition-held areas near Aleppo city. For years, the Al-Waer district has remained under a siege imposed by the regime. More than 20,000 people have applied to leave the district under the deal, which was concluded on March 13.
