What's happening to civilians when they reach the displaced persons camp?
There's immediate medical care available from the Syrian Red Crescent.
There is a Russian field hospital, which we actually were allowed into.
We have told you the first foreigners to be allowed into the Russian field hospital there,
which was doing sort of minor operations.
There's a rank of ambulances there ready to take any emergency straight to hospital.
People go to the registration centre.
They're registered, obviously to give their identities,
and to be able to access services that might be available to them
to identify their needs as well.
Once registered, they then go to...
They're actually free to go to wherever they choose to go to.
Many of them do have family members, either in West Aleppo or indeed in other parts of Syria.
So many of the internally displaced are actually going to stay with family in other parts of the country.
Those that do not have family are actually provided with refugee centres,
which is the next state for those who don't have family,
which we visited a few days ago also in a recently liberated part of East Aleppo.
And the relief of the people there of everyone we met is palpable.
This morning we were there when hundreds of people were gathering,
and they all wanted to talk, they all wanted to share their stories.
And believe me, the stories that they're telling are completely the opposite of what the Western media is saying.
I think Aleppo is maybe the oldest city in the Middle East,
perhaps even the oldest in the world that's functioned as a city continuously.
And its souk in particular was famous from Marrakesh to Riyadh.
I think you have been able to access that area and also the ancient citadel.
Could you just briefly share with us your perspective on the situation there?
One was on the verge of tears, actually, walking through the streets there.
There is a huge amount of destruction.
That destruction actually is largely, again largely, caused by the so-called rebel rebels.
But of course, because it's intensive, very tight streets, there's been enormous amount of street fighting.
There is some bomb damage, but that bomb damage is actually the bomb damage that has been caused by the rebels who've blown up our various things.
But Syrian Army have not bombed the old city.
That's quite visible, because most of the damage, and there's vast amounts of damage, is actually the buildings are standing.
But everything's sprung to take note of everything, because of street battles.
And apparently that was the way that they went street by street.
And guns being used, shells being used on both sides and missiles and all sorts of things.
So the damage is huge.
And yet I was thinking, looking at this devastation, but the structure is still there, apart from the minaret.
But actually, even the chap with us said that, you know, the minaret can be rebuilt.
And this is one of those that they say it can be rebuilt.
You know, cities are destroyed over millennia, and they're rebuilt.
You know, it's now sort of modern time in the Republic, just 20 years after the Civil War there.
And they're committed.
The Chamber of Commerce in particular, they are committed to rebuilding those areas that have been utterly devastated.
And we were told yesterday, with the historic buildings, every effort will be made to try and rebuild them at a quality level to give the right craftsman.
