Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Syria: Rebels Evacuate Douma in Russia-Brokered Deal

HeadlineApr 03, 2018

In Syria, armed fighters from the city of Douma in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta boarded buses bound for one of the last rebel-held enclaves in Syria, under a Russia-brokered evacuation deal that will see them relocated to the country’s northwest. The deal came as the U.N. warned of an “immense” humanitarian crisis in the region, saying 130,000 people have fled Eastern Ghouta in the month and a half since Syria’s government launched its offensive.
