People Evacuated from Aleppo at Risk

The New York Times

Tens of thousands of civilians evacuated from Aleppo will still be at huge risk unless aid groups and the international community can rush food, shelter and medicine to the areas where they are seeking refuge, The Guardian writes.

The speed of Aleppo’s collapse means there has been little time to prepare for the arrival of huge number of civilians, in areas that are already home to many other refugees, and still under attack from government and Russian planes.

According to reports, about 8,000 people have been evacuated.

"It’s winter, it’s freezing, these are tens of thousands of people coming from besieged areas who will need a lot of follow-up treatment because of the rudimentary wartime medical assistance," said Adham Sahloul, advocacy officer for the Syrian American Medical Society, one of the NGOs working on the ground to aid the new arrivals.
