		</div><p>Russia says Syria&#8217;s army has halted its attacks in Aleppo to allow trapped civilians to be evacuated.</p>
<p>Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says around 8,000 people would be taken out of the besieged city.</p>
<p>Government forces have retaken three quarters of east Aleppo in recent weeks &#8211; areas rebels have controlled for four years.</p>
<p>However, residents and fighters are reporting no let-up in the bombing and shelling campaign.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Battles are intense,&#8221;</i> said a message from a rebel operation room shared with The Associated Press.</p>
<p>Other residents reported warplanes firing from machine guns at rebel positions and artillery shells falling in the remaining rebel-controlled districts.</p>
<p>Medical officials in the enclave issued a passionate plea for a ceasefire.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Aleppo is finished. There is nothing left except a few residents and bricks,&#8221;</i> Mohammed Abu Jaafar, the head of the eastern Aleppo forensic authority, said in a recorded message shared with reporters. <i>&#8220;This may be my last call.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>By early afternoon, Mr Abu Jaafar said 14 bodies had arrived at his facility from all over eastern Aleppo, although a comprehensive death toll for the day was not possible because of the intense fighting.</p>
<p>Residents described streets littered with bodies as ambulances and rescue workers struggled to keep up.</p>
