Al-Hawl camp | Security forces reorganise Al-Hawl’s sections in Al-Hasakah countryside

The administration of Al-Hal camp, in cooperation with the security forces, has reorganised the camp sections, to curb the killings and murders committed by ISIS affiliates and cells, following the end second phase of “Humanity and Security” Operation launched by the Internal Security Forces with the support of the Women’s Protection Units and the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Residents of Al-Hawl camp protested against the construction of a fence and buffer walls separating the camp sections, while security forces arrested a number of them.

According to SOHR sources, the new organisation contributes to better access to services and drinking water for the whole camp, and helps control fires easily and quickly.

At the request of the United Nations, small curtains, used by ISIS members to separate each group from others, were prevented from being built within the camp sections, as they turned the camp into random tent clusters and narrowed roads and corridors.

It is worth noting that Al-Hawl camp houses 53,000 people, mostly children and women, including 8,000 women and children of ISIS families.

The External Relations Service of the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria coordinates the repatriation of children and women to their countries under official documents.

One woman and four children were handed over to a German delegation, while11 women and 33 children were handed over to the Dutch delegation, under official documents signed between the Autonomous Administration and the two delegations.

In less than a month, from October 6 till now, the number of children, women and young men of ISIS families who have been repatriated from camps in north-eastern Syria to European countries has risen to 120 people including four Canadians and 17 Australians.
