Thousands of Syrian civilians have finally been allowed to leave the besieged Damascus suburb of Moadamiya.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet, who was at the scene, describes a tide of desperate people leaving the area, which has been closed off since March.

The exodus of civilians has been made possible by an apparent relaxation of a blockade by government forces.
