<p>The UK continues to work with and learn from our international partners on a range
of issues to help address the difficult situation in North East Syria, including in
relation to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. It is ultimately a matter for
individual countries how they address any situations involving their nationals, including,
where applicable, repatriation to the country of origin. We are aware that British
nationals, including children, are located in IDP camps in north east Syria. Due to
the shifting circumstances on the ground we are not in a position to make an accurate
estimate of their number. Where we become aware of British unaccompanied or orphaned
children we work with partners to facilitate their return where feasible. Establishing
their whereabouts and identity is not straightforward, but we have facilitated a number
of such returns to the UK. Each case is considered on a case by case basis, subject
to national security concerns.</p>
