Australian Government Calls Syrian Camp Squalid
A Syrian official stated the Australian government was responsible for a nearly two-week delay in a group of four women and nine children leaving Damascus. The group, which has links to the Islamic State, left Syria's Al-Raj refugee camp in late April. They were reportedly held in Damascus before their expected arrival in Australia on Thursday night. The official claimed the delay occurred because Australia needed to establish procedures for receiving the group. The Australian government has described a camp in a Kurdish-controlled part of Syria as 'squalid' and highlighted the 'horrific conditions' people live in there, specifically in tents. Residents of the camp expressed worry about their children's future due to the dangerous conditions.
