The UK Foreign Secretary has announced the British parliament is looking at ways of returning the children of British fighters who have defected to Syria to fight for Islamic State.
Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s comments come days after the death of 19-year-old former British IS recruit Shamima Begum’s baby son after she was refused re-entry into the UK, and rescue missions to the Syrian camp where she was, were deemed too dangerous.
The UK Foreign Office is now working with the Department for International Development on ways of contacting and removing British children from the camps.
