One woman and her two children were repatriated, along with another child who was given "after written approval from her mother to the Dutch government," according to Abdulkarim Omar, who co-chairs Rojava’s foreign relations department and met with the Dutch delegation on Saturday.
There have been 660 repatriations from Rojava camps so far this year, Rojava Information Center (RIC) said on Saturday, adding that the numbers are "set to surpass any other year since 2017."
There are currently 120 Dutch nationals in Rojava camps, according to data from the Dutch interior ministry.

organizations have condemned governments for failing to repatriate the 43,000 foreign nationals "unlawfully held" in northeast Syria.
Kurdish authorities in Rojava have struggled to manage tens of thousands of suspected ISIS fighters and their families, held in several camps since the terror group was militarily defeated in 2019.
The largest camp, al-Hol, houses more than 59,220 people from dozens of countries, most of them family members of ISIS fighters. More than 8,500 of them are third-country nationals, RIC said on Saturday.
Iraq recently took back some five hundred people back from al-Hol camp, which was greeted with mixed reception.
The Uzbek government repatriated nearly 92 of its citizens — 68 women and 24 children - with alleged ISIS links in late April.
