Investing.com -- The United States has successfully repatriated a U.S. citizen minor from a displaced persons camp in northeast Syria, reuniting the child with family members.
The operation, which took place last week, involved coordination between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of Defense.
According to officials, the child had spent their entire life in the camp and will now have "a future free from the influence and dangers of ISIS terrorism."
Approximately 30,000 individuals from more than 70 countries remain in two displaced persons camps in northeast Syria. The majority of these individuals are children under the age of 12.
U.S. officials emphasized that countries of origin must take responsibility for their nationals in these camps, stating that repatriation, rehabilitation, reintegration, and appropriate accountability measures are the only sustainable solutions to the humanitarian and security crisis.
This principle applies not only to camp residents but also to former ISIS fighters currently held in detention centers throughout northeast Syria.
The U.S. acknowledged the Syrian Democratic Forces for their assistance in facilitating the repatriation and their ongoing commitment to ensuring the defeat of ISIS.
