Terrorists Take $300 to Let People Leave Aleppo, Kill Those Who Flee

The extremist groups prevent civilians from leaving the eastern parts of Aleppo which had been under the control of terrorist and militant groups since 2014.
 
Airstrikes in Aleppo have been halt since two weeks ago to let humanitarian aids enter the city and also let the civilians flee the war zone but the Russian Defense Ministry says only 12 people have managed to escape the eastern part of Aleppo after paying a hefty bribe.
 
“Last night 12 Syrians managed to move to safe districts through one of the corridors, in Al-Masharqa,” the ministry's official spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday morning.
 
“According to refugees, it [the escape] became possible after a bribe to one of field commanders at a price of 150,000 Syrian liras [around $300] for every person. In order to collect 1.8 million liras, the three families had to sell all their belongings,” he noted.
 
The terrorist groups shell the routes civilians take to flee the city during the humanitarian pause of attacks.
 
The humanitarian pause is the only lifeline extended to civilians in east Aleppo, as the Syrian and Russian Air Forces continue to observe a no-fly-zone over Aleppo, staying at least 10km from the city.
 
“Russian and Syrian aircraft have not performed any flights over the city of Aleppo for 13 days already,” the general said. “For comparison, the US-led international coalition has delivered nine airstrikes over the last 24 hours at residential quarters of an Iraqi city with a population of over 1 million people – Mosul.”
 
Demanded by Damascus, Russia is providing air support for the Syrian national army in its war against the terrorist groups that hit Syrian in 2011 in an attempt to overthrow the legal government of President Bashar Assad.
