(National-UAE) Hundreds of European children are still detained in Syrian ISIS camps, prompting fresh calls for them to be returned home.
The youngsters are housed in camps where extremist fighters and their families were held after the defeat of the terrorist group in Iraq and Syria.
Watchdogs say the children lack basic services such as health care and sanitation and that efforts to bring them home have been hindered by the pandemic.
Children were among four people who died in a fire at the notorious Al Hol camp in March.
In a new report, the Open Society Justice Initiative said more than 600 children of European nationals were still living in the camps.
