"176 Iraqi families, with an estimated number of 634 individuals from ISIS families left al-Hol camp towards Iraq," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.
Their repatriation is part of an agreement between the Iraqi government and the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES), the monitor added, with the end goal being the removal of all Iraqi families from the camp.
Iraqis and Syrians make up the majority of the 40,000 ISIS-linked people who have been held at al-Hol camp in northeast Syria’s Hasaka province since the defeat of the terror group in 2019.
Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji in March said that around 20,000 Iraqis below the age of 18 are still at al-Hol.

[Rudaw] Iraq and the United Nations have reached an agreement to repatriate all Iraqi nationals from northeast Syria’s (Rojava) al-Hol camp housing suspects linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) by 2027, an official from Iraq’s ministry of migration and displaced told Rudaw on Thursday.
Ali Abbas, spokesperson for Iraq’s ministry of migration and displaced, said that Baghdad has reached an agreement with the UN on the repatriation of Iraqis from al-Hol. According to the agreement, no Iraqi families will remain in the camp by 2027.
“There were three proposals for their return: 2025, 2027, and 2030. Next year was too short of a duration and we would not have been able to return them by then, and we told them that 2030 is too far away and their children will grow up so we will not able to accommodate them,” Abbas told Rudaw’s Hastyar Qadir.
