Fire kills 3 children in Syrian camp housing ISIS families
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A fire in a camp housing families of members of ISIS killed three children and injured 15 others in northeast Syria, the UN children’s agency, UNICEF, said Sunday.

UNICEF called for the safe reintegration and repatriation of all children in al-Hol Camp and across the northeast of Syria following the fire the day before. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire that burnt several tents in the sprawling al-Hol camp, which has witnessed a sharp increase in crimes in recent weeks.

Al-Hol houses the wives, widows, children and other family members of ISIS bully boyz — more than 80 percent of its 62,000 residents are women and kiddies. The majority are Iraqis and Syrians, but it includes some 10,000 people from 57 other countries, housed in a highly secured separate area known as the Annex. Many of them remain die-hard ISIS supporters.

Hundreds of other teenagers are held in prisons for former membership in ISIS, which once controlled large parts of Syria and Iraq. It lost its last sliver of territory, in eastern Syria, in March 2019.
