UN refugee agency says entered Syria IS-linked camp, resumes aid delivery

The UN refugee agency says it managed to enter a camp in northeastern Syria housing thousands of suspected relatives of Islamic State group fighters, and has resumed aid deliveries.

After initially saying volatile security had prevented it from entering, UNHCR says on X that it, “accompanied by Syrian Government officials, was able to enter inside Al-Hol camp,” adding that “the delivery of essential supplies has resumed, including trucks carrying bread.”
