Shafaq News/ Two Egyptian girls were found dead at the al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria.
A Kurdish security source told the AFP, “The bodies of two Egyptian girls were found in the sewage waters” at the camp.
AP Agency reported that beheaded girls were aged 11 and 13.
Siamand Ali, an official with the Kurdish-led United States-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, confirmed the killings.
More than 50,000 people live in Al-Hol Camp, including relatives of suspected ISIS fighters, displaced Syrians, and Iraqi refugees.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) described the death of the two girls as “horrifying.”
“This latest incident involving the deaths of children in the camp highlights the urgent need for longer-term solutions for children in al-Hol,” said Tanya Evans, IRC’s country director in Syria.
Kurdish authorities that control the camp have repeatedly called on foreign countries to repatriate their citizens, but most fear security threats and political backlash.
