The UN Security Council has called for officials from the world body to be allowed to monitor the evacuation of people from eastern Aleppo.
It also called for the safety of civilians who remain in the Syrian city to be monitored. The 15-member council adopted a French-drafted resolution that called for “all parties to provide these monitors with safe, immediate and unimpeded access.”
The measure, proposed last week, was initially vetoed by Russia, who wanted to postpone sending monitors to the region.
Russia has been in talks with Turkey and Iran to reach a ceasefire deal for Aleppo and the rest of Syria.
