Syrian Civilians Start Evacuating Ayn al-Arab via Army Corridor

(MENAFN) Residents trapped in Syria's Ayn al-Arab district—commonly known as Kobani—have started evacuating through a newly established humanitarian passageway controlled by Syrian government forces, according to official state media reports.

Nation's state broadcaster, documented families departing Ayn al-Arab through the "Nour Ali" humanitarian corridor, a designated route created by the Syrian Army's Operation Command to guarantee civilian safe passage from areas occupied by the YPG/SDF terrorist organization in Aleppo province.

Syrian military leadership revealed Sunday that two humanitarian corridors had been activated spanning the Raqqa–Hasakah–Aleppo corridor.

The Operations Committee's blueprint positioned the initial passageway adjacent to Tal Dawud village along the Raqqa–Hasakah highway, established through collaboration with Hasakah provincial authorities. The secondary route opened near Nour Ali village at the Ayn al-Arab intersection along the M4 motorway, coordinated with Aleppo's governorate.

Military representatives stated the corridors were allocated to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and the safe passage of urgent and vulnerable humanitarian cases.

The evacuations mark a significant development in Syria's ongoing territorial disputes, as civilians navigate dangerous sectarian divisions while seeking refuge from conflict zones controlled by Kurdish-led forces.
