ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Iraq’s migration ministry has prepared a rehabilitation plan for Islamic State (ISIS) families repatriated from the notorious al-Hol camp in Syria, an official said on Monday.

“The plan primarily aims to develop the diverse skills of families, both life skills and professional skills, in order to improve their standard of living,” and includes tailored programs for each family, ministry spokesperson Ali Abbas Jahangir told state media.

It targets families who have recently returned from Rojava’s (northeast Syria) the al-Hol camp and placed in the al-Jadaa camp, which serves as a major government-run rehabilitation and integration center south of Mosul.

The initiative, led by ministry trainers, will focus on improving technical and social capabilities of each family so that they can find work inside the camp, Jahangir said, adding that the ministry will also provide “psychological rehabilitation,” without elaborating on what that entails.

The al-Hol camp in Rojava’s Hasaka province housed tens of thousands of ISIS families and affiliates, mostly Syrian and Iraqi.

Syrian authorities have now emptied the camp and closed it off, an official from al-Hol said on Sunday.

“All Syrian and non-Syrian families were relocated,” Fadi al-Qassem, the official appointed by the government to manage the camp's affairs told AFP.

Iraq took in more than 5,700 ISIS prisoners from Syria after the turmoil caused by a January Syrian government offensive in Rojava raised fears that detention centers, previously operated by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), would be unable to maintain security amid the conflict.

The prisoners include people from 67 different countries, Saeed al-Jayashi, strategic affairs advisor at Iraq’s national security advisory, told state media on Sunday, stressing that the end goal is to repatriate the non-Iraqis.
