(CTV) A four-year-old rescued from a detention camp in Syria is doing well at her new home in Canada, according to her Canadian aunt — but she keeps crying for her mother, who remains in Syria after allowing other relatives to take the child to safety.
The child, whose identity is being withheld, just can’t understand why her mother is not around, the aunt told CTV News.
More than 20 Canadian children of ISIS fighters are stranded in camps in Syria, a situation that activists and extended family members have decried.
On Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the child’s rescue as almost a private affair.
