AFPSyrian rebels in Aleppo city called Wednesday for an immediate five-day truce and the evacuation of civilians to other opposition-held territory in the northern province, a statement said. The initiative, which comes after government forces seized three-quarters of the former rebel bastion in east Aleppo, was approved by all factions in the city, a representative from one group told AFP. It calls for an "immediate five-day humanitarian ceasefire" as well as the UN-supervised evacuation of people requiring urgent medical care, who it says number around 500 people. And it calls for "the evacuation of civilians who wish to leave besieged east Aleppo to the northern Aleppo province countryside," where rebels still hold pockets of territory. It rules out the evacuation of civilians to neighbouring Idlib province, where many civilians and surrendering rebels have taken refuge after leaving territory recaptured by the government elsewhere in the country. "Idlib province is no longer a safe area because of Russian and regime bombardment," it said.
