Evacuation buses arrive back in Aleppo: State media

Buses have entered Aleppo ready to evacuate the trapped civilians there, state media reported on Sunday morning.

The report said the buses were being monitored by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which had said it hoped to be able to resume evacuations on Sunday.

Rebels and civilians will reportedly both be evacuated.

Up to 10,000 people are expected to be evacuated if a deal is agreed between the negotiating parties, who reportedly continued talks into Sunday morning.

Footage shot by Turkish news agency TRT World on Sunday morning showed the transfer point in Aleppo, where people will be loaded on to buses, empty.
