Aleppo evacuation: Thousands 'to be moved' as new deal reached.

    A new deal has been reached to allow the evacuation of several besieged enclaves in Syria, the government and rebels said yesterday.

     Thousands of civilians and rebels are hoping to leave the city of Aleppo after rapid government advances in recent weeks.
The agreement also includes thousands of people in two other rebel-held towns and two towns loyal to the government.
    The Red Cross said it was unaware that a new agreement had been reached.
  An ICRC statement said it had received some signals from the parties that a new agreement could be reached soon.
At least 6,000 people have left Aleppo but evacuations were stopped on Friday.
