Buses leave 2 Syrian villages under Aleppo deal
A Syrian activist group and a Lebanon-based TV station say that 10 buses with civilians from two Shiite villages besieged by rebels in the country’s north are on their way to government-controlled areas.
The evacuations from Foua and Kfarya were conditions that were added on to a ceasefire deal that paved way for the last rebels and civilians to depart from the remainder of the rebel enclave in the eastern half of the Syrian city of Aleppo.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen TV say the buses left Foua and Kfarya on Monday. More than 2,000 sick and wounded people are supposed to leave the villages. The evacuation came a day after militants burned six buses assigned to the villages’ evacuations.
