Damascus, December 30 (RHC)-- Hundreds of wounded Syrian fighters and their families from opposing sides of the war in Syria have been evacuated from besieged areas under a U.N.-brokered deal.
Shiites trapped in pro-government towns in northwestern Syria were evacuated to Beirut, while Sunni rebel fighters trapped near the Lebanese border were flown to southern Turkey.
The deal comes ahead of peace talks planned for next month.
