Civilians Evacuated from Rebel-held Eastern Aleppo, Syria

   Ambulances and green government buses moved into the last rebel-held
   areas of Aleppo, Syria on Thursday as part of an operation to evacuate
   civilians and rebel fighters.
   U.N. humanitarian envoy Jan Egeland told reporters he hoped to see the
   start of a "last and successful attempt" at evacuations from eastern
   Aleppo, which opposition fighters seized in 2012.
