Mass evacuations from Douma after Syrian rebels surrender

Mass evacuations from Douma after Syrian rebels surrender

Mass evacuations are underway in the Syrian city of Douma, which had been the last rebel stronghold in the Eastern Ghouta region before a recent deal that saw the Syrian government regain control over it. The Russian ministry says about 1,500 opposition fighters and civilians have left in just one day. Over the last week, about 20,000 opposition fighters and civilians from Eastern Ghouta have been sent to the northern province of Idlib.
