In a coordinated international effort, the U.S. has repatriated 24 individuals, including children, from camps in northeast Syria, emphasizing rehabilitation and reintegration.

The repatriation included 11 U.S. citizens and facilitated the return of individuals from Canada, the Netherlands, and Finland.
Rights groups highlight severe conditions in the camps, urging more comprehensive international solutions.
Approximately 30,000 people from over 60 countries, mostly children, remain in dire conditions in the camps.
U.S. officials stress the importance of repatriation as a solution to the ongoing humanitarian and security crisis.
