Over 100 murders in Syria camp since Jan 2021: UN

GENEVA, 29 June 2022, (TON): UN said “more than 100 people, including many women, have been murdered in a Syrian camp in just 18 months” demanding countries repatriate their citizens.

Imran Riza, the UN resident coordinator in Syria said “the Al-Hol camp is increasingly unsafe and the child detainees are being condemned to a life with no future.”

Al-Hol, in the Kurdish-controlled northeast, was meant as a temporary detention facility.

However, it still holds about 56,000 people, mostly Syrians and Iraqis, some of whom maintain links with the Daesh group, which seized swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014.

The rest are citizens of other countries, including children and other relatives of Daesh fighters.
