Camps and prisons holding Daesh detainees in Syria are at risk of becoming a security threat due to cuts in aid from the US and the collapse of the Assad regime. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which oversee the camps, have warned that without sustained international support, the resources of the SDF-affiliated Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria will be stretched thin, leaving the camps and prisons vulnerable to revolt or mass escape attempts. The US has been the largest contributor to the camps and prisons, providing financial assistance and personnel to maintain security. The suspension of aid from the US could also impact humanitarian and civilian infrastructure projects in the region.
