The UK Government is following closely developments as eastern Aleppo is evacuated. We supported UN Security Council Resolution 2328, adopted on 19 December, which asks the UN to monitor evacuations from eastern Aleppo. We will maintain pressure for this resolution to be implemented and for the evacuation of all those who wish to leave to continue.
