US repatriates 11 Americans and six Canadian children from Syria

The US has repatriated 11 of its citizens and six Canadian children from camps in north-eastern Syria.
 
Ten of the US citizens are reportedly members of a single family.
 
The six Canadians are all children.
 
Four Dutch citizens and a Finnish citizen were also repatriated by the state department.
 
About 30,000 people from 60 countries - most of them children - remain stranded in two overcrowded camps in Syria.
 
The camps, Al-Hol and Roj, are run by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which battled the Islamic State group for years until the fall of its so-called caliphate in early 2019.
