RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – An official of the Child Protection Office in Raqqa city, north Syria, said on Saturday that the office was preparing to start the rehabilitation of some ISIS children departed the Hawl Camp in northeast Syria.
The number of families that departed the camp and headed to Raqqa is 817 families, numbering 2,763 members, most of whom were women and children who are under 15.
Amira Hassan, the head of the Child Protection Office of Raqqa, said that the office in collaboration with local organizations would work on implementing a plan to rehabilitate the children who deported the camp.
She noted that the plan involves providing psychological support and social events, as well as pursuing the children’s development until they get past what they experienced in the camp.
The rehabilitating program was supposed to take place in the forthcoming period, she added told North Press.
The Hawl Camp is a home for about 56,000 people, 36,000 of whom are under 18, in a previous statement the camp manager, Hamrin Hassan, told North Press.
