“The Syrian Arab Republic announces opening a humanitarian corridor in Soran area in the northern countryside of Hama Province, under protection of the Syrian Arab Army forces,” SANA news agency said.
A source at Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that the corridor will be used to evacuate citizens willing to leave areas controlled by terrorists in the northern countryside of Hama and southern countryside of Idlib.
