Iraqi authorities are expected to move about 100 ISIL families from al-Houl camp in Syria to Iraq.  The new camp is called Jadah and the IOM has been working on parts of the camp. Almost half of al-Houl’s 61,000 residents are Iraqis and the majority are children. Many of them are family members of suspected ISIL fighters who were brought to the camp from the battlefield in Deir Ez-Zor province two years ago.
