  • SYRIA: UNHCR FLASH UPDATE 20 October 2016
    SYRIA: UNHCR FLASH UPDATE 20 October 2016 ALEPPO CITY . A "humanitarian pause" in attacks on opposition-held eastern Aleppo city has come into effect. The unilateral truce announced by Russia was initially scheduled from 08:00 hrs to 16:00 hrs, Damascus time, and then extended by three hours. Today (20 October), Special Advisor Jan Egeland has told the Associated Press that the UN has received verbal assurances for the extension of the humanitarian pause until Monday 24 October (11 hours per day), both from Russia's diplomatic mission in Geneva and in writing from Russian military officials in Syria. Upon receiving formal authorization by the Government of Syria for the medical evacuation, the UN Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator, UN Chief Security Advisor and an inter-agency UN team left for western Aleppo city this morning (20 October). The UN team plans to meet with local authorities and medical partners, and will be working closely with WHO, who is coordinating the medical evacuation. The UN hopes to begin medical evacuations from opposition-held eastern Aleppo tomorrow (21 October). The Russian Defence Ministry announced eight exit corridors out of eastern Aleppo city, six for civilians and two for armed opposition group fighters to leave with their weapons. This morning (20 October), an AFP correspondent reported that clashes had erupted in an area designated as a humanitarian corridor for civilians. There are unconfirmed reports of a small number of civilians evacuated through the humanitarian corridors. NORTHERN SYRIA . The Turkish military said that it carried out airstrikes against Kurdish armed groups in northern Aleppo Governorate, killing up to 200 fighters.
