The detention camp at Al Hol houses around 55,000 people of whom 93 percent are women and children and half are children under the age of 12.   All were displaced by the war and the collapse of the Islamic State.  Along with Syrian and Iraqi mothers, the children represent 51 other countries.  Most of those countries remain unwilling to repatriate them.  

The children are growing up in a prison camp surrounded by two forces - hardline women committed to the goals of ISIS and outside the camp by Kurdish forces.  With Turkey threatening again to invade the area, many military experts fear a disaster if the Kurdish troops are defeated and flee.
