The United States has successfully repatriated a minor, an American citizen, from a displaced persons camp located in northeast Syria. The action aims to reunite the child with family members, providing a glimpse of life outside the squalid camp conditions.

According to the U.S. State Department, approximately 30,000 individuals from more than 70 nations continue to reside in these camps. More than half of them are children below the age of 12, who urgently require opportunities beyond their current situation.

U.S. officials are advocating that countries of origin should take responsibility for repatriating their citizens, claiming it as the only sustainable solution to the ongoing crisis within these camps.
