Aleppo: ‘House-to-house murder’ of civilians under way as Syrian city falls to Assad, warns David Miliband

‘People are reporting, some of them, that the ceasefire is holding, others that there is no safety at all, and it's sheer terror’

Former Foreign Secretary David Miliband has warned “house-to-house murder” is being carried out in the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo.

He also denounced the “appalling bombardment” of civilians and raised fears the fighting could spread to Idlib, the rebel-held province where people from Aleppo were being taken during the evacuation.

Some 8,000 civilians, including 2,700 children, have been allowed to leave besieged rebel-held areas in the city’s east, but the evacuation was halted on Friday after reports a ceasefire, negotiated by Turkey and Russia, had broken down.

Journalists on the ground reported militias had been shooting at those trying to flee the city.

"Yesterday, they (pro-government forces) opened fire on the people who were trying to escape from this hell - they killed three people," White Helmet rescue worker, Ishmael al Abdullah, told Sky News.

"Assad mercenaries killed the three people in cold blood in front of the Red Crescent and all the guys who witnessed that crime… Now we are waiting for the new deal.

"Up to now we do not trust anyone. Up ‘til now we haven't seen any deal and no one saw up to now the green buses (used to take civilians out of Aleppo)."
