CENTCOM commander visits al-Hol, al-Roj camps
ANKARA (AA) – US Central Forces Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla visited the al-Hol and al-Roj camps of displaced people in Syria, where the YPG/PKK group holds the families of ISIS members.
CENTCOM said in a written statement that the visit took place on August 21.
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 emphasized cooperation with the SDF, a self-rebranded YPG/PKK.
Kurilla also met with the leadership of the YPG/PKK.
Located in the Al-Hasakah province in northeastern Syria, al-Hol and al-Roj camps for displaced people accommodates families of ISIS members who fled the eastern Deir ez-Zor province due to clashes.
The UN and nongovernmental organizations have voiced concerns over the humanitarian conditions in the two camps.
