Al-Hol Camp in North East Syria is home to around 70.000 men, women and children currently being detained as supporters of the Islamic State and the previous Islamic Caliphate.

Tousands of children are brought up in the camp suffering hardships and overall dire conditions.

While thousands hold foreign nationality from Europe or Western countries, other thousands are mere stateless as they were born in the Caliphate.

No matter the color of their skin, their eyes or their passports they face an unknown, insecure and political-based future - wanted by no-one, branded by everyone.
