Geneva, Jan 23, 2026 (AFP) — The UN refugee agency said Friday it had managed to enter a camp in northeastern Syria housing thousands of suspected relatives of Islamic State group fighters, and had resumed aid deliveries.

After initially saying volatile security had prevented it from entering, UNHCR said on X that it, "accompanied by Syrian Government officials, was able to enter inside Al-Hol camp", adding that "the delivery of essential supplies has resumed, including trucks carrying bread".
