Aleppo battle: Hundreds leave Syria city as evacuations resume

Aleppo : Evacuations have resumed from east Aleppo, with buses and ambulances leaving rebel areas of the Syrian city, a UN official says.
At least 350 people have reportedly left rebel enclaves in convoys, heading west towards government territory.
Earlier, buses sent to take people out of government-controlled areas, besieged by rebels, were set alight, halting the latest evacuation deal.
Thousands are waiting to leave east Aleppo in desperate conditions.
The UN Security Council is said to have agreed a compromise to allow UN monitoring of the operation. Russia earlier rejected a French-drafted plan to send UN officials to east Aleppo as “a disaster”.
“We expect to vote unanimously for this text tomorrow [Monday],” said US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power.
The initial efforts to evacuate the last rebel-held enclaves in the city collapsed on Friday, leaving civilians stranded at various points along the route out without access to food or shelter. Bombardment of east Aleppo has left it virtually without medical facilities.
