Syrian civilians stranded in Aleppo towns as evacuation deal halts
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the delay was because rebels from Zabadani, one of the towns included in the deal, had not yet been granted safe passage out, Reuters added.
The agreement is one of several concluded in recent months that has seen President Bashar al-Assad’s government take back control of areas long besieged by his forces and their allies, Reuters said.
