The previous humanitarian pause was announced by Russia from October 20-22 to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians and unarmed militants from eastern part of the embattled city via eight corridors. During the humanitarian pause, al-Nusra Front terrorist group prevented civilians from fleeing the city, attacking them.
