Evacuation Truce In Key Syrian City Of Homs Goes Into Effect -- CNN
(CNN) -- A truce between Syrian government and rebel forces in the strategic and symbolic city of Homs has gone into effect, the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Wednesday.
An operation to evacuate opposition fighters and their families has begun, the London-based group said.
The ancient city became known as the capital of the uprising against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It has experienced some of the worst of the violence in a bloody civil war that has left more than 100,000 people dead and driven millions of people from their homes across the country.
As many as 2,500 people are thought to be trapped in Homs, portions of which have been under siege since June 2012. Efforts to get humanitarian aid to those inside the city have been plagued by difficulties amid the fighting.
