Thousands of trapped civilians and the last remaining opposition fighters in Aleppo were waiting for evacuations to resume yesterday, a day after the operation was suspended by the Syrian government.
Syrian forces this week moved to assert full control over the east of the city, which had been held by opposition fighters since 2012.
French Ambassador Francois Delattre said the international presence prevents Aleppo from turning into another Srebrenica, where thousands of Bosnian men and boys were massacred in 1995 when the town fell to Bosnian Serb forces during the Balkan wars.
