Syria: Rebels Evacuate Douma in Russia-Brokered Deal
----------------------------------------------------

In Syria, armed fighters from the city of Douma in the Damascus suburb
of Eastern Ghouta boarded buses bound for one of the last rebel-held
enclaves in Syria, under a Russia-brokered evacuation deal that will see
them relocated to the country's northwest. The deal came as the U.N.
warned of an "immense" humanitarian crisis in the region, saying 130,000
people have fled Eastern Ghouta in the month and a half since Syria's
government launched its offensive.
