Security forces in Hol Camp in northeastern Syria have found two more bodies of Iraqi refugees. This brings the number of murders registered in the camp this year to 40.
In the morning hours, the bodies of two Iraqi refugees were found in the 5th section of the Hol detention and refugee camp. ISIS militias are suspected to be behind the killings. This brings the number of murders recorded in the camp this year to 40, and the number of unreported cases is likely much higher, as many of those murdered are simply buried under tents. Many of the victims are Iraqi refugees. Despite this danger, the Iraqi Interior Ministry continues to refuse to accept its 30,703 nationals from the camp. The Interior Ministry argues security concerns about possible ISIS jihadists, leaving the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to deal with the problem alone.
The Hol detention and refugee camp is one of the most dangerous places in the world and is seen as a symbol of the international community's refusal to take responsibility for ISIS families. The camp, which is completely overcrowded with more than 62,000 people and houses tens of thousands of family members of ISIS jihadists from 52 nations in addition to refugees, has long been out of control. The Autonomous Administration, which has been battered by Turkish attacks, is largely left alone to care for and control the camp, and international governments rarely take responsibility for their citizens or their children. Thus, it is no coincidence that the camp is considered a secret ISIS capital and ISIS laws and punishments are enforced in the most brutal way by underground militias.
