Buses carrying hundreds of opposition fighters, their families and other civilians left eastern Ghouta for opposition-controlled areas in the north of the country.
Other groups of evacuees will leave eastern Ghouta in the next days under a Russian-brokered deal that the opposition faction Faylaq al-Rahman reached with the regime.
Under the agreement, some 7,000 people, including fighters, were to leave eastern Ghouta's towns of Arbeen and Zamalka, as well as the district of Jobar, which were under Faylaq al-Rahman's control.
The evacuees' destination is the north-western province of Idlib.
This agreement will not include Duma, the largest town in Ghouta, where there are many talks with Jaish Al-Islam the largest opposition faction there.
