Amid Bombardment, Thousand Evacuate Syrian Suburb of Eastern Ghouta
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, thousands of people are being evacuated from besieged Eastern
Ghouta, outside the capital Damascus, under a deal brokered by Russia.
The Syrian government and Russian warplanes have been bombing the
rebel-held enclave for over a month, killing well over a thousand
people. Early Tuesday morning, a convoy of 100 buses departed Eastern
Ghouta for the rebel-held province of Idlib in northern Syria.
