A huge car bomb has blasted a convoy of coaches carrying evacuees from government-held towns in Syria, reportedly killing 16 people.
It shattered coaches and set cars on fire, leaving a trail of bodies, as the convoy waited at a marshalling point in rebel-held territory at Rashidin.
Thousands of evacuees from both sides of Syria's civil war have been stuck in hostile territory since Friday.
The "Four Towns" deal was meant to relieve suffering in areas under siege.
Some 30,000 besieged people would be taken out of two terror/rebel-held towns and two under government control but, according to AFP news agency, up to 5,000 government evacuees and 2,200 from rebel towns are now stranded.
Last month, the UN described the situation in the pro-government north-western towns of Foah and Kefraya, and the terror/rebel-held towns of Madaya and Zabadani near Damascus, as "catastrophic".
More than 64,000 civilians are "trapped in a cycle of daily violence and deprivation", it said.
