AL-HOL CAMP, Syria: Foreign women with Islamic State have tried to assault others they deem"infidels" at a camp where they are being held in northeast Syria, trying to impose their views even as the jihadists are facing territorial defeat, Reuters journalists visiting the site have found.
Most have been sent to al-Hol camp, already overcrowded with uprooted Syrians and Iraqis. Camp officials say they do not have enough tents, food, or medicine. Aid workers warn of spreading diseases, and dozens of children have died on the way there. Some of the women coming out of Baghouz in recent weeks have displayed strongly pro-Islamic State sympathies.
"The situation in the camp is very miserable. The displaced are growing very much and we are trying to cover people's needs as much as we can. But we need help," said Mazin Shekhi, an official at the camp. "There were problems with some people," said a 30-year-old woman from Turkestan who gave her name as Dilnor.
