Evacuation from Aleppo, leaving about 20 thousand people
About 19 thousand people were evacuated from Aleppo to the eastern province of Idlib, since the operation began on December 15, according to the United Nations confirmed.
Parallel evacuation operations, 750 people were taken from two villages surrounded Syrian Al Fuah and Kefraya. However, the United Nations could not confirm how many people remain trapped in the enclave that remains under rebel control.
While evacuations continue, with people up in buses from Aleppo and surrounded two villages, the Security Council requested the monitoring process and the safety of civilians who remain trapped. On Tuesday morning, the United Nations confirmed that the Syrian government has authorized the sending of a mission of 20 people in eastern Aleppo, to monitor evacuations.
Additional staff of the UN is located in Damascus, ready to travel to eastern Aleppo as soon as possible.
But while the UN says about 20 thousand evacuated, Turkey has stated that the operation for the evacuation of civilians and fighters from eastern Aleppo about 37,500 issued from there itself. While according to the Red Cross, the number of evacuees is 25 thousand.
Turkish officials and Russians however have estimated that the evacuation would be completed within two days, although it is hard to believe if the goal is realistic, also thanks to the problems that have accompanied the process so far, but also because of the various estimates of the number the people remained there.
Syrian rebel sources say, even after thousands of people from Aleppo east, only about half the civilians who wanted to leave have done so. Rebel fighters, meanwhile, will leave only after all the civilians who want to be removed. Agreement on ceasefire and the evacuation allows the rebels to keep personal weapons, but no heavy weapons.
Meanwhile, amateur video that appeared on social networks show people arrived in safer areas of eastern Aleppo about. Such as a child on a bus, with a cage of birds as well as people who greet and embrace each other and go down. More evacuees waiting at the bus and try to keep warm in the fire.
As an old man, amid the destruction in Aleppo requires the help of Muslim communities throughout the world.
"For God's sake, where are you? A man listens to me? Arabs, Muslims, where are you, while we massacred? Save us! We are put to death and dying of hunger. "
His appeal is actually embarrassing for Arab states Sunni Muslim majority, who support the rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad and his allies, Iran and Russia.
