Evacuations Continue after Syria’s Deadly Bombing

Dozens of buses from the towns of Fuaa and Kafraya, which have been under crippling siege for more than two years, reached the edge of the militant-held transit point of Rashidin outside Aleppo.

Meanwhile, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the hard-won evacuation deal was back under way.

"The process has resumed with 3,000 people leaving Fuaa and Kafraya at dawn and nearly 300 leaving Zabadani and two other rebel-held areas," the head of the Britain-based activist group told AFP.

Rashidin was the scene of Saturday's deadly bombing. At least 109 of the dead were evacuees.

Dozens of the wounded were taken to hospitals in nearby militant-held territory, while others were taken to Aleppo.

The evacuations were taking place under a deal between the government and the militants that is also seeing residents and militants transported out of Madaya and Zabadani, towns near Damascus that are surrounded by pro-government forces.
