NORTH AND EAST SYRIA — The U.S.-led International Coalition stated via Twitter that, alongside its partners, they are working with non-governmental organizations and local authorities to provide humanitarian assistance to Al-Hol Refugee Camp and organize the safe return of its residents to their communities.
