Reports of the deteriorating health of Australian kids in refugee camps in Syria has sparked renewed calls for them to be brought home
Advocates have made a fresh plea to bring Australian children held in Syrian refugee camps home, as their health reportedly declines.
Aid organisation Save the Children said 47 Australian kids are suffering from pneumonia, malnutrition, infections and gunshot wounds in various Syrian refugee camps."The camps have been flooded already," he said. He said one of his grandchildren is suffering from severe dental pain and another has a worsening walking disability."As a father, it's one of the most frustrating things - to have your own daughter and your family in circumstances that are dangerous and circumstances that could result in losing them any day, and not being able to do anything," he said."All it takes, frankly, is the political will.
But Mr Tinkler said the women have agreed to be put under strict control orders, which would include ankle monitors, adhering to a curfew and having their emails monitored.And Mr Dabboussy said the children should not be punished for the actions of their parents.
