The Australian government has repatriated four women and their 13 children from a Syrian refugee camp to Sydney with rights groups supporting the decision, while others are opposed. It's the first time Australians captured after the fall of the IS terrorist group have been returned to the country since eight orphans were repatriated in 2019.
