The U.S. has brought home 11 of its citizens from camps in northeastern Syria, housing family members of suspected Islamic State militants, officials say.
The United States has repatriated 11 of its citizens from sprawling camps in northeastern Syria that house tens of thousands of family members of suspected Islamic State militants, the U.S. State Department said Tuesday. The repatriation was the largest Washington has carried out from the camps to date, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. Five of the 11 citizens brought back were children, and one non-U.S.
Human rights groups have regularly reported on what they describe as inhumane living conditions and abuses in the camps and in detention centers where suspected IS members are housed. 'The only durable solution to the humanitarian and security crisis' in the facilities 'is for countries to repatriate, rehabilitate, reintegrate, and where appropriate, ensure accountability for wrongdoing,' Blinken said in the statement.
