Refugees from Aleppo to be relocated (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

boat people

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'refugees' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'aleppo to be relocated' is the wordplay.
'relocated' is an anagram indicator (letters get relocated).
'aleppo'+'to'+'be'='aleppotobe'
'aleppotobe' with letters rearranged gives 'BOAT PEOPLE'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for boat people that I've seen is " Vietnamese refugees of the 1970s".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
