国际英语资讯:Feature: Civilians evacute Syrias Eastern Ghouta after six-year siege

At the temporary shelter, where civilians were waiting for their documents to be processed and to get medical checkups, some infants were seen receiving medicine drips through their noses.

The facial expressions of the grownups were a mix of confusion and exhaustion as it's their first time to leave Eastern Ghouta to a place where they are promised to be well-treated.

Noura Rayyes was sitting with her brother and sister, waiting for their mother to finish her medical examination at an ambulance outside.

She told Xinhua that they were happy to get out of Ghouta because her mother needs emergency surgery but there is no medical help in Eastern Ghouta.

"The situation of my mother has become very bad and we couldn't treat her inside Ghouta with the lack of medication, not to mention the soaring prices and the lack of everything else," Noura said.

Samya Jaber, another evacuee who managed to leave Eastern Ghouta with her father and three children, said she was desperate to have her critically ill father get access to medication.

"Our situation was very bad inside, with no food or any life necessities. Thankfully we registered our names and were evacuated by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. The people here are treating us well but we still have families inside who couldn't leave," she said.

Sitting next to his daughter and son, Jamal Hashem pointed to the head of his daughter which was wrapped in a bandage, saying most of the evacuees on Tuesday were either in need of medical help or accompanying relatives and family members who need medical care.
