Over 200 civilians from Fuah and Kafraya have gone missing in the Rashideen neighborhood after they were supposed to get into government-held Aleppo yesterday. Regrettably, most of the missing people are females.

According to a local source, the residents from Fuah and Kafraya are believed to have been kidnapped by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), an Al-Qaeda affiliated rebel faction which has been accused of killing 126 civilians in a car bomb attack yesterday.

An eye witness said HTS lured children to the car bomb with sweets and chips, only to detonate a massive bomb that killed 68 kids in scenes too heinous to describe.

Although the evacuation deal has not gone to plan, 55 buses from Zabadani and Madaya did reach Idlib city while 73 buses from Fuah and Kafraya reached Aleppo on Sunday evening as thousands of civilians exited enclaves and entered government heartland respectively.
