Four years later, evacuation from Syria's Daraya begins

Rebels and civilians, many in tears, on Friday began evacuating the Syrian town of Daraya after a four-year army siege, in a blow for the beleaguered opposition.

The evacuation came after a deal struck by President Bashar Al-Assad's government and opposition forces in the town, which is near Damascus and was one of the first to rise up against the regime.
