STORYLINE:
Australian families in a Syrian refugee camp who were preparing to fly back home were returned to the site after being unable to leave Syria on Sunday.
On February 16, a group of 11 Australian families at a camp in northeast Syria housing people with alleged ties to Islamic State group militants were to begin the journey back to their home country.
The operation was part of an ongoing repatriation process, but they were turned back before they could leave Syria.
It is not clear if or when they would be able to complete the journey.
“Their hopes were crushed," said Hakmiyeh Ibrahim, director of Roj Camp in Syria. "I mean they left with such joy and hope, that they will start a new life over there. Especially the kids, they were very happy."
The 34 women and children were supposed to make their way from Roj camp to Damascus, and then fly from the Syrian capital.
Relatives of the returnees had been coordinating with Syrian authorities and had travelled from Australia to accompany them, camp officials said.
Roj camp houses about 2,200 people from around 50 nationalities, mostly women and children, who have supposed links to the extremist group.
Most in the camp are not technically prisoners and have not been accused of a crime, but they have, in effect, been detained in the heavily guarded camp, controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
