The evacuation process resumed after the bombing, the Observatory said, with the residents of Fuaa and Kafraya eventually arriving in Aleppo, Syria's second city which the government gained full control of previous year.
The death toll from a bomb attack on a crowded bus convoy outside Aleppo, Syria has reached at least 126 in the deadliest such incident in the country in nearly a year, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group says.
An evacuation deal had stalled and the buses were stranded for some 30 hours prior to the attack.

He has been backed militarily by Russian Federation, and by Shiite fighters from Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah group in Syria's six-year-old conflict.
He said the dead included 98 people from Foua and Kfarya, with the rest aid workers and rebels who had been guarding the convoy.
Almost 70 children were among those killed when a suicide vehicle bombing tore through buses carrying evacuees from besieged government-held towns in Syria, a monitor said on Sunday.

The Observatory said more than 24 were killed and scores more wounded. "I can't find them", said a woman who appeared on al-Ikhbariya, weeping outside the state hospital in Aleppo where the wounded were transported.
The group said the attack only serves to deflect the attention from government "crimes" and said it was ready to co-operate with an global probe to determine who did it.

Food has been distributed but those on the buses do not have access to toilets. "My house, land and belongings are all in al-Foua", Mehdi Tahhan said.
"There's a lot of fear on our bus, especially because the regime soldiers are here and there is a crowd all around us", he said. "Numerous buses were totally destroyed", he said.
Syria's conflict involves many groups, including those with links to terrorism such as al-Qaida. Assad is from the Alawite religious minority, often considered an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Assad holds the military advantage over the opposition in the west of the country thanks to Russia's intervention in 2015, although the insurgents continue to fight back and have made gains in some areas.
