The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria announced on Monday that 230 Iraqi families have departed Syria’s al-Hol camp and are en route to Iraq, marking the 32nd and final repatriation batch of 2025.

In a statement, the administration said the families left the camp on December 29 following joint coordination between camp management, the Autonomous Administration, Iraq’s parliamentary Security Committee, and the Migration and Displaced Persons Committee.

The latest group comprises about 840 people of various age groups. They are traveling in an organized convoy under tight security toward Iraqi territory, where they are expected to undergo reintegration through designated government programs.

Iraq’s Ministry of Migration and Displacement confirmed the move. Ministry spokesperson Ali Abbas said on Sunday that 230 families, totaling 834 individuals, were scheduled to arrive in Iraq on December 29.

Abbas added that the total number of Iraqis repatriated from al-Hol has reached approximately 21,000. Earlier this month, on December 1, another batch of 240 families—more than 850 people—was returned to Iraq.

Al-Hol camp, which once housed around 60,000 people, has been the focus of a prolonged repatriation process involving Iraqi authorities, the Autonomous Administration, and international partners.

Under an agreement between Iraq’s Ministry of Migration and Displacement and the United Nations, all remaining Iraqi families are to be repatriated by 2027. Ministry Undersecretary Kareem al-Nouri has said the Iraqi government aims to close the al-Hol file completely next year and return all Iraqi nationals still in the camp.

Al-Nouri previously noted discrepancies between figures provided by the Syrian Democratic Forces and the United Nations, but said Iraqi data indicate that fewer than 5,000 Iraqi nationals remain at al-Hol.
