> More than 2,300 women and children remain confined at Roj camp in northeastern Syria as relatives of suspected ISIL fighters or people linked to the armed group. Damascus wants the camp closed, while rights groups call it a “ticking time bomb” vulnerable to ISIL influence. About 50 nationalities are represented there.
