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. Women who have fled the area near the Iraqi border which is still under ISIS control is seen in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of al-Hol in al-Hasakeh governorate in northeastern Syria Thousands of women and children, many of them wives of ISIS fighters and leaders, have turned up at the al-Hol camp in recent weeks as US-backed Kurdish forces close in on the terror group. It is not known if the women seen in these photographs are ISIS brides The innocent ones: A baby cries at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of al-Hol in al-Hasakeh governorate in northeastern Syria, where dozens of young children have died in recent months as a result of hypothermia and malnutrition 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. Shamima Begum (pictured in her passport photo, and right before she left aged 15) is now 19 and is alive in Syria - she wants to return to the UK Her journey: The different place in Syria where Begum has lived in the four years since she left east London for ISIS Nowhere to go|: Syrian women queue for water at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of al-Hol The camp is home to thousands who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the civil war - not all have fled ISIS A Syrian woman holding a child talks to a medic at a makeshift clinic at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of al-Hol in al-Hasakeh governorate Across war-ravaged Syria, 18,700 children under five are suffering from malnutrition, according to the World Food Programme Medics at Al-Hol, which has been flooded with more than 25,000 displaced in recent weeks as military operations ramped up, do not have the capacity to treat severely malnourished children and must send them on to hospitals in an hour away A Kurdish female fighter, left, walks next to a woman, reportedly the wife of an ISIS fighter at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp of al-Hol A woman holding a young child sits in front of the many tents that make up the IDP camp in al-Hol TOPSHOT - Syrian medics treat a baby at a makeshift clinic at the camp while the child's mother looks on 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 'They're just skin and bones when they get here,' Kurdish Red Crescent (KRC) paediatrician Dr. Antar Senno told AFP at a makeshift clinic in Al-Hol. Conditions in the camp are better than on the road, but the makeshift tents, overcrowding and sparse resources pose a great health risk to children, with at least 29 dying in al-Hol in the past two months, mainly because of hypothermia, the World Health Organization (WHO) said last week. Red Crescent workers quickly scan the infants - particularly those under a year old - for thin limbs, taut and dried-out skin, or signs of diarrhoea, when they arrive said Senno. 'The team combs the entire reception tent. If they see a case that could be malnutrition, they immediately pull the child aside and put him in an ambulance,' he said. But the journey does not end there. Medics at Al-Hol do not have the capacity to treat severely malnourished children and must send them on to hospitals in the city of Hasakeh an hour away. That makes every moment even more precious, said Senno.

But if we can catch them and send them to hospital in Hasakeh, we can save their lives,' he said. 'It's not about the same day. It's about the same minute.' More than 37,000 people have fled the shrinking IS-held enclave in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor as the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces bear down on the jihadists. Many walk for days in the desert to reach an SDF-run collection point, where they are screened, provided with some food and water and loaded into trucks for the hours-long journey north to Al-Hol. But that desert odyssey can be deadly - at least 35 newborns and infants have died either en route to the camp or just after they arrive, according to the United Nations. One camp worker told AFP he saw women tumble out of trucks cradling lifeless babies, not knowing they had died on the road. Authorities at Al-Hol have imposed tight security measures amid fears jihadists could be posing as fleeing civilians. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) can be life-threatening for children, particularly infants who could literally waste away. Across war-ravaged Syria, 18,700 children under five are suffering from SAM, according to the World Food Programme. All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
