Civilians and rebel fighters have begun leaving the Syrian town of Darayya after a deal was reached ending a four-year government siege.
The first buses left the town, near the capital Damascus, accompanied by ambulances and Red Crescent vehicles.But the UN has expressed concern over the plan, saying it is essential that those leaving do so voluntarily.
The Syrian army encircled Darayya in 2012 and just one aid delivery has reached the town since then.
The first bus to emerge from the town carried mostly children, women and elderly people, AFP news agency reports.
Some 700 armed men and 4,000 civilians will be evacuated as part of the agreement, according to Syrian state media.
Opposition fighters are due to be given safe passage to the rebel-held city of Idlib, while civilians will go to government shelters in Damascus.
