Children of Australian ISIS fighter are desperate to come home

Australian ISIS fighter Khaled Sharrouf's three orphaned children have said they are desperate to come home.

Zaynab, 17, Hoda, 15, and Hamza, eight, were taken by their mother from Sydney to join Islamic State  in 2014.

After the defeat of ISIS last year, they are now in the Al-Hawl refugee camp in northern Syria.

The three children, whose parents and two brothers are dead, are begging to be allowed back in to Australia.

'I just want to get out of here,' Zaynab told the ABC's Four Corners.

The 17-year-old is looking after her daughters Ayesha, three, and Fatima, two, and is about to give birth to her third child.

She said she wanted to flee ISIS sooner but feared being caught and tortured as punishment.

'We've been wanting to come home for a very long time, but we were just scared,' she said.

'For me and my children, I want to live a normal life just like anyone would want to live a normal life.' 

She said after leaving the last ISIS stronghold of Baghouz, the siblings spent a few nights in the freezing desert before American troops found them and took them to the refugee camp. 

'I thought I was going to die from the cold,' she said.
