AL-HOL, Syria — Sheikhmous Ahmed, head of the Office of Displaced and Refugee Affairs in the Social Affairs and Labor Authority of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of the Region of North and East Syria (DAARNES), announced an agreement had been reached with the Syrian Transitional Government (STG) to establish a joint mechanism for releasing Syrian families from Al-Hol Camp in North and East Syria.

The agreement is a continuation of the terms outlined in a previous accord between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the STG.

“A new agreement has been finalized to implement a shared mechanism for the safe exit of Syrian families from Al-Hol Camp and their return to their home regions,” Ahmed stated.
