Thousands of people were still waiting in the cold on the streets of Aleppo for evacuations to resume on Saturday afternoon, after the government said a news deal had been struck.
The Syrian government has said evacuations from Aleppo will resume, but the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said several hours later that there had been no progress on the ground in Aleppo.
Bilal Abdul Kareem, the only foreign journalist still inside East Aleppo, confirmed to MEE that "some sort of deal" had likely been struck.
Thousands of civilians reportedly camped out in below-freezing temperatures overnight, desperate for evacuations to resume, and were still waiting on Saturday afternoon.
"People are hoping to start moving again soon," Abdul Kareem told MEE on Saturday afternoon.
"They are waiting for the green buses again. But the buses haven't showed up and people are just waiting in the street.
"It's cold, sub-zero temperatures at night, with people spending the night in bombed-out buildings."
Civilians held 'hostage to negotiations'
