18th convoy from Syria's E. Ghouta arrives in Al-Bab

ALEPPO, SYRIA - APRIL 11: The 18th convoy carrying civilians and opposition fighters from the city of Douma in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta arrives in Aleppo's Al-Bab district on April 11, 2018. The convoy of 85 buses carried 3,860 people, including 1,500 children and 1,021 women, who will be brought to Azaz district from Al-Bab and will be provided with temporary accommodation in refugee camps. With this convoy, the number of those evacuated from Eastern Ghouta since the process began on March 22 has surpassed 56,000. Evacuations from Douma will continue, according to Anadolu Agency correspondents on the ground. Turkey's Operation Euphrates Shield, launched in late 2016, liberated Al-Bab from the Daesh terrorist group. The operation, which ended in March of last year, largely succeeded in purging the Turkish-Syrian border area of the terrorist presence. Evacuations are being carried out as part of a Russian-brokered agreement between Syria's Bashar al-Assad regime and armed opposition groups. (Footage by Beha el Halebi/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
