Tens of Civilians Leave Eastern Aleppo Neighborhoods to Areas Controlled by Government

ALEPPO, (ST)-Tens of people left eastern Aleppo neighborhoods on Friday to government controlled areas fleeing the terrorist takfiri groups’ atrocities against them.

SANA reporter said that tens of people, most of them women and children, left the neighborhoods through the safe corridors specified by the Aleppo governorate to help  locals, trapped in these neighborhoods by the terrorists, leave.

The reporter added that the Syrian Arab Army received those people and moved them in vans to equipped makeshift centers.

 The General command has decided to reduce the airstrikes and artillery fire on terrorists’ positions in eastern Aleppo areas in order to facilitate the exit of the locals who want to leave and who have been used by the terrorist groups as human shields and to improve the humanitarian situation there.

Late last July, the Syrian government in cooperation with the Russian forces launched a major humanitarian process to ensure exist for civilians trapped in Aleppo eastern neighborhoods. As a result, hundreds of  civilians left through the set safe corridors and were taken to makeshift centers. A number of gunmen also left through special paths and had their legal status settled.
