Standing in line for water and food at the refugee camp in northern Syria are hundreds of women, most of the adults clad from head to toe in black, covering cloth.
Some are innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of Syria's continuing civil war, while others are fierce supporters of ISIS and married to those fighting for the murderous terrorist group still desperately clinging on to a sliver of land several hours away.
Regardless of alliance to the Syrian government, freedom fighters or ISIS, their children are suffering the worst punishment, with conditions in the overcrowded camp dire as more refugees pile in every day.
Truckloads of gaunt women and children fleeing ISIS's last stand near the village of Baghouz, close to the Iraqi border, disembark daily at the Al-Hol camp, including 200 who arrived on Thursday.

Al-Hol has been flooded with more than 25,000 displaced people in recent weeks as military operations ramp up against the terrorist group in the Euphrates Valley, 200 miles away from the camp.
It is in this camp that 19-year-old Shamima Begum, who was just 15 when she and two classmates Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase travelled from London's Bethnal Green to Syria in February 2015, now lives.
Speaking to the Times, Begum says she does not regret joining ISIS and said she was 'weak' for not staying to the bitter end after her two young children died.
However, Begum is desperate to return to the UK as soon as possible, as she is nine months pregnant and fears her third child will die like her others if she gives birth in the Al-Hol camp.
There has been little food, water and medicine available in Baghouz, and dozens of children who, unlike Begum's two children, survived the fighting have died on the journey to the refugee camp.
