Syrian Town: Refugee Camps and Canadian Officials

syrian town: Right now we've qualified it as too dangerous for Canadian officials to go into Syria and into those refugee camps, he said, according to CTV. It has been almost a year since Amira was discovered wandering alone in the Syrian town of Baghouz after her family -- Canadians who had left the country in 2014 to fight for ISIS -- were killed in an airstrike. In a one-on-one interview with CTV News' Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme, Trudeau said that he was aware of the little girl's story, but that the safety of Canadians who work in the Middle East needs to be considered. Amira was taken to the detention camp in northeastern Syria where she was living with a surrogate family, in a situation that Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale has previously called horrendous. It is estimated that at least 33 Canadians women and children are detained in al-Hol and a second nearby camp. Life inside the camp is often described as desperate, with lack of water and access to medical care major concerns for the more than 11,000 foreign women and children of ISIS fighters are detained.
