foua: But the plan was put on hold Sunday after a number of buses were set on fire, according to CNN. Hours later, the first limited evacuations began from eastern Aleppo and the towns of Kefraya and Foua, United Nations humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland said on Twitter. The exodus of thousands of people from besieged areas was set to begin this weekend under a new complex people-swap deal. Thousands more are waiting to be evacuated, he added. Hopeful operation will proceed smoothly, Mardini, the ICRC's regional director, said on Twitter. Shortly after midnight, Robert Mardini of the International Committee of the Red Cross said five buses and one ambulance had just left dark and cold eastern Aleppo.
