U.N. Calls for Repatriation of 27,000 Children Stranded in al-Hol Camp
----------------------------------------------------------------------

United Nations officials are calling on countries to repatriate 27,000
children trapped in a camp in northeastern Syria. Many of the children's
parents were members of the Islamic State who fled to the al-Hol camp
after the group lost its last territory in Syria in 2019.
