More than 50 injured evacuees taken to hospitals in Turkey

More than 50 injured people have been taken to Turkey since thousands of civilians and opposition rebels left Aleppo under an evacuation deal, the Turkish Red Crescent said Friday.

"Since the beginning of the evacuation, over 50 heavily injured have been taken to Turkey," Kerem Kinik, president of the Turkish Red Crescent, told AFP at the Turkish border crossing of Cilvegozu, opposite Syria's Bab al-Hawa post. 

The injured are "all civilians... from the besieged Aleppo", he said speaking in English.
