Channel 4 News filmmaker Waad Al Kateab, who was trapped in Aleppo as the city came under siege from regime forces in the run up to Christmas, is now safely living in Turkey.

The pregnant mother-of-one made it out of the Syrian city, along with her husband and 11-month-old daughter, on the very last bus laid on by Assad’s government to aid in the evacuation of civilians.

The family, who had been living in Aleppo and sheltering with a team of doctors and nurses, spent Christmas in the rebel-held Idlib province between the city and the Turkish border following their escape.
