IS: Lorries evacuate civilians from last Syria enclave
Lorries have begun evacuating people from the last area in Syria still held by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Journalists on the frontline saw at least 10 vehicles leaving the village of Baghuz, near the border with Iraq.
A spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance, whose fighters are besieging the area, said they were carrying civilians.
On Tuesday, the UN expressed concern about the fate of some 200 families reportedly trapped in Baghuz.
