It is worthy to note that most murders target the camp’s Iraqi refugees, the largest population group in the camp at around 30,000 individuals.
Syria Camp for IS Relatives Records 31 Murders this Year
[AnNahar] At least 31 killings have rocked a camp holding Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group relatives in Syria since early January, a Kurdish official said Wednesday, with aid groups warning of a "nightmare".
It was the latest evidence of deteriorating security at al-Hol camp in the Kurdish-run northeast, where Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) had to temporarily suspend operations this week after the killing of one of its team members.
"Since the start of 2021, 31 people have been killed -- six of whom were murdered with a sharp object, while the rest where rubbed out," said camp official Jaber Sheikh Mustafa.
The toll has more than doubled since February 8 when it stood at 14, according to Kurdish authorities.
"We believe that IS sleeper cells are behind these murders" that especially target Iraqi residents of the camp, Mustafa told AFP.
But a humanitarian source said recently that tribal score-settling between residents could also be to blame for some murders.
Al-Hol holds almost 62,000 people, mostly women and kiddies, including Syrians, Iraqis and thousands from Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and Asia accused of family ties with IS fighters.
Most camp inhabitants are Syrians or Iraqis displaced by the Kurdish-led battle against IS that took back the group's last scrap of territory in March 2019.
MSF said Tuesday that it was suspending its operations in the camp after one of its local team members was rubbed out in his tent on February 24.
"People are being killed with a brutal frequency, often in the tents where they live," said MSF's emergency manager, Will Turner.
Despite chronic overcrowding at al-Hol, the number of camp guards was reduced from 1,500 in mid-2019 to 400 in late 2020, the UN said in a February report.
Some detainees see the camp as the last vestige of the cross-border "caliphate" IS declared in Syria and neighbouring Iraq in 2014, it said.
Apart from murders, a camp blaze on Saturday killed six people, including five children, the Kurdish administration said. At least 36 others were maimed in the fire, officials told a presser on Wednesday.
