Eight Australian children aged between 2 and 18 -- the children and grandchildren of ISIS fighters -- have been rescued from a refugee camp in Syria and are in the care of the Australian government
The young people aged between 2 and 18 -- the children and grandchildren of ISIS fighters -- crossed the Syrian border into an unnamed Middle Eastern country on Sunday, Australian national broadcaster ABC reported. The rescue comes after the collapse of ISIS's caliphate in Syria, leaving thousands of ISIS affiliates -- many of whom are women and children -- in make-shift camps. Morrison said the eight rescued were now in the care of Australian government officials.
"Australia's national security and the safety of our people and personnel have always been our most important considerations in this matter."When CNN asked for more details on the children involved, the Prime Minister's office said he was not able to comment on individual cases. Veiled women, living in al-Hol camp which houses relatives of ISIS group members, walk in the camp in al-Hasakeh governorate in northeastern Syria on March 28, 2019.
