"During the past day only, from the district controlled by the militants, have escaped 903 civilians, including 119 children. Eight militants have ceased fighting and left the eastern districts along the corridors, organized by the Russian reconciliation center and the Syrian authorities."

Russia’s center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria has organized humanitarian aid delivery to Aleppo’s recaptured districts. "Peaceful life resumes in the area, the locals form up the authorities, provide security and order," the report reads.
