Limited medical evacuations from Syria's Eastern Ghouta At least 150 civilians requiring urgent medical treatment have been evacuated from opposition held Eastern Ghouta, the current major battleground in Syria's seven-year war. They were evacuated under a deal reached between, one of the largest opposition groups in the area, Jaish al-Islam and Russia - the Syrian government's principal ally. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK based war monitor, the evacuees were taken to shelters under government control in other parts of the Damascus suburb.
