US Central Forces Commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla, visited Al-Hol and Al-Roj camps of displaced people in Syria, where the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) holds the families of Daesh terrorists, Anadolu Agency reports.
CENTCOM said, in a written statement on Wednesday, that the visit took place on 21 August.
The visit involved “interactions with camp administrators as well as camp residents themselves to observe, first-hand, the current humanitarian conditions, continued improvements in camp security and repatriation, rehabilitation and reintegration efforts to return residents to their countries of origins,” the statement said.
The CENTCOM Commander emphasised cooperation with the SDF.
Located in the Al-Hasakah province in north-eastern Syria, Al-Hol and Al-Roj camps for displaced people accommodates families of Daesh members who fled the eastern Deir Ez-Zor province due to clashes.
The UN and non-governmental organisations have voiced concerns over the humanitarian conditions in the two camps.
