Private cars left Aleppo together with convoys of buses leaving rebel fighters and civilians from the Syrian city on Friday, a rebel official, a tracking group and an official of the government stated.
“People with their own vehicles were allowed to leave along with the buses today,” said Zakaria Malahifji, a Turkey-based official of the Fastaqim rebel group.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated cars were leaving the city as efforts to finish the evacuation of thousands from the last rebel-held parts of Aleppo appeared to speed up.
An official on the Syrian government involved in supervising the evacuations confirmed the reports.
The conflict, Syrian Civil War, remains ongoing since 2011. This week the government forces are said to have regained the control of most of the Aleppo, also known as the principal city of northern Syria and the country’s second-largest metropolis.
