Two Egyptian girls found dead at Syria's Al-Hol camp
2022-11-16
[An Nahar] Syria's Kurdish authorities have recovered the bodies of two Egyptian girls dumped in sewage at the notorious al-Hol detention camp, local security personnel said on Tuesday.

"The bodies of two Egyptian girls were found in the sewage waters" at al-Hol a day earlier, a Kurdish security source told AFP, requesting anonymity.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria, said the girls had been killed with a sharp object, adding that Kurdish security forces had transferred their bodies to a hospital for investigation.

The overcrowded camp in northeast Syria is home to more than 50,000 people, including relatives of suspected jihadists, as well as displaced Syrians, and Iraqi refugees.

Administered by semi-autonomous Kurdish forces, al-Hol is known for rampant violence.
The Times of Israel adds:
The two teenage girls were found in a separated, heavily guarded section of the camp known as the annex, where an additional 2,000 women from 57 countries — considered the most die-hard IS supporters — along with their roughly 8,000 children are housed, the Observatory said.
