Al-Roj refugee camp

Common card · No. 320330

The Al-Roj refugee camp (Arabic: مخيم الروج للاجئين), also known as the Al-Roj camp or simply the Roj camp, is a refugee camp in northern Syria, close to the Syria-Iraq border. Like the former Al-Hawl refugee camp, which was larger, it holds individuals displaced from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, who were held captive at the camp by the Syrian Democratic Forces. As highlighted on the Global Peace Index 2025, the camp is considered a significant source of stability for the ISIL group, as thousands of radicalized fighters and family members held within these sites facilitate the organization's persistence through recruitment and ongoing guerrilla operations.
