al-Roj camp

The Trump administration urges countries to repatriate citizens stranded in Syria, while the Australian government refuses to repatriate four women and nine children detained since the fall of Islamic State. The group, who left al-Roj camp, is now stuck in Damascus after the Albanese government's refusal to assist.

Four Australian women and nine of their children and grandchildren have left al-Roj camp in Syria, traveling to Damascus under Syrian government control. The group was previously turned back in February, and the Albanese government has stated it will not assist them.
