The UN health agency’s top official in Syria says negotiations are underway in hopes of resuming evacuations from rebel-held parts of eastern Aleppo.
Elizabeth Hoff, the Syria representative for the World Health Organization, says that the agency knows “there are a large number of women and children, and there are others, who are still inside and want to get out.”
She spoke by phone from government-controlled western Aleppo, after Russia’s military claimed that all women and children had been taken out of eastern Aleppo during evacuations that began a day earlier involving WHO help.
