REPORTAGE - Syrien: Flüchtlingscamp Al-Hol
Final days of the Isis caliphate: Syria and the collapse of Islamic State across the region and the resultant displacement of families. A young child hides his face in his hands while waiting in the back of a truck, along with women and children who fled heavy fighting in the city of Baghuz, to be transported to the al-Hol refugee camp where ISIS suspected families are held until they are screened by members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, on 9 February, 2019.
