Syria Crisis: Opposition fighters evacuate Eastern Ghouta town with families
[]
Syrian opposition fighters have started evacuating a key besieged town in Eastern Ghouta. This comes after reaching a deal with the government on Wednesday. 15-hundred opposition fighters and six-thousand family members are expected to leave the town of Harasta. The Syrian military says over 12-hundred people, including more than three-hundred opposition fighters, left Harasta after sunset on Thursday. The deal could empty one of three opposition-held pockets in Eastern Ghouta. Eastern Ghouta is the last opposition enclave near the capital Damascus.
