Russia’s Defence Ministry said more than 105,000 people have left Syria’s Eastern Ghouta rebel enclave, including another 700 on Saturday since government forces began an assault to retake it a month ago, RIA news agency reported, citing the military.

Syrian civilians and rebel fighters arrive in the village Mizanz, some 30 kilometres northeast of Idlib on March 24, after being evacuated from Harasta in Eastern Ghouta following a deal that was announced earlier in the week.
Eastern Ghouta was once the opposition's main bastion outside Damascus, but the government has captured more than 90 percent of it through a blend of military pressure and evacuation deals.
