Syria’s army and Rebels have agreed to evacuate all residents and insurgents from the besieged Damascus suburb of Daraya, ending one of the longest stand offs in the five year conflict.
According to State media, under the terms of the deal, 700 armed men will leave for the rebel controlled city of Idlib while 4,000 civilians will move to government shelters.
The evacuation will start today and last for two or three days said the media.
Syrian army has surrounded rebels and civilians and blocked food deliveries in Daraya since 2012.
