BBC Reports from Syrian Camp for Families of Suspected IS Fighters

Following the defeat of the Islamic State in Syria, Kurdish-controlled prisons contain approximately 8,000 suspected IS fighters and 34,000 family members. The Syrian government is seeking to regain control over the Kurdish region, leading to increased tensions as troops have recently displaced the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces from key resource areas. The situation raises concerns about the future security of camps like Roj, which houses families of suspected IS militants. BBC’s Orla Guerin reports from the region, highlighting the precarious state of these facilities.
