Syrian Observatory: five evacuation buses allowed to pass from Aleppo

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian army and its allies on Sunday allowed a convoy of five buses and two ambulances from the rebel-held district of Aleppo to reach rebel-held al-Rashideen outside the city, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor. The convoy had been held for hours after leaving the Ramousah highway junction next to the rebel-held part of the city. (Reporting by Angus McDowall; Editing by Peter Cooney)
