The federal government is preparing to bring dozens of Australian women and children from detention camps in north-east Syria to Australia.
Preparations are underway to assist more than 20 women and more than 40 children who have been in the camps since the fall of the so-called Islamic State in 2019.
Australian officials visited the camps earlier this year to verify the identities of the women and children.
Many are the wives, widows and sisters of Islamic state group fighters.
Some were just teenagers when they left Australia but insist they were taken to the Middle East against their will.

100 Children Rescued Underground In Ukraine

Putin Vows to “Crush” Child Traffickers in Ukraine
According to Putin, the Russian Children’s Welfare Society interviewed 6 Russian children, ages 12-16, who were among the 100 multinational kids freed by Spetznas in central Ukraine Friday afternoon. They shared similar, harrowing stories. Three were abducted from their homes, at night, near the border city of Belgorod, which sits 10 miles inside the Ukrainian border. Their abductors captured them as parents worked or slept; rural southwest Russia is rife with destitution, and parents, unable to afford babysitters, often entrust God to care for their children whilst they hammer out a meager living. The remaining 3 said they’d been abducted at shopping centers, when momentarily separated from parents or guardians.
Four of the six had endured captivity for one or two weeks, but two children had difficulty estimating their time in bondage; prolonged confinement in a dark, windowless cell had skewed their perception of time and space. One guessed “six-to-eight weeks.” And of the six, three said their jailors had shuttled them to their point of rescue from other internment camps that held “many, many, many more children.” “Putin told Trump that, at least to the kids’ account, the traffickers all spoke fluent Ukrainian but only sparse or broken Russian, and some Armenian. They wore ski masks, so the kids never saw the faces. The total number of children there was 100, 76 Russian, 9 French, 1 Swiss, 5 American, 6 Ukrainian, not sure of others. Apparently, the Ukrainian children translated for the rest,” our source said.
