Published
As controversy and political debate swirl over the future of women and children stranded in a Syrian detention camp, a family has released a photo of one of the youngest girls. The Opposition is trying to apply political pressure to have the group stopped from coming to Australia, claiming they pose an ongoing threat. The operators of Al-Roj camp say that if they get the greenlight from Syrian authorities they are willing to assist the group to attempt to leave the camp again.
