Everyday Emergency

Syria: "Between Two Fires" - Danger and Desperation in Al-Hol


Listen Later

Warning: This episode contains testimony related to child deaths that some listeners may find distressing.
A new report by MSF lays bare the cruelty of the long-term detainment of more than 50,000 people, the majority of whom are children, in Al-Hol, northeast Syria.
The camp was once designed to provide safe, temporary accommodation and humanitarian services to civilians displaced by the conflict in Syria and Iraq. But the nature and purpose of the camp has long deviated and grown increasingly into an unsafe and unsanitary open-air prison after people were moved there from Islamic State group controlled territories in December 2018.
