Kurdish-led SDF pulls out of camp for IS families during clashes in Syria
The withdrawal from al-Hol comes as Syrian government forces advance into the north-east, two days after a ceasefire agreement.
Around 34,000 people allegedly linked to IS were also being detained at al-Hol and another camp, Roj, the UN reported last August. The population of the camps, of which 60% were children, comprised 6,700 Iraqis, 15,500 Syrians and 8,500 citizens of other countries, including the UK.
