"So far, 1500 have been evacuated," Huseyin Oruc, vice president of the Turkish NGO the Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), told Middle East Eye on Thursday.
According to Uruc, the evacuation of east Aleppo is being handled by IHH, UNOCHA, ICRC and the Syrian Red Crescent.
"Our teams have gone to east Aleppo along with the others to help take the people to Idlib," said Oruc. "Those who are heavily injured have been taken to hospitals."
"We are coordinating with the Turkish Red Crescent to receive them and we have already started setting up tents for them to live in," he said.
