The uncle of a five-year-old orphan whose parents and siblings were killed in a Syrian air strike has been urging the federal government to bring her home

A member of the Syrian Democratic Forces stands guard in al-Hol camp which houses relatives of Islamic State group members, in al-Hasakeh governorate in northeastern Syria, on March 28, 2019.The family of a Canadian orphan living in dire conditions in a camp in northeastern Syria has filed legal action against the federal government, arguing Ottawa violated her rights as a citizen by failing to bring her home.

It also alleges Ottawa failed to work with a third party – such as another country or an NGO – to facilitate Amira’s repatriation. Global Affairs Canada said it is aware that a Canadian orphan is in the Kurdish-run camp in northeastern Syria. John Babcock, a spokesperson, said officials are in regular contact with her family and Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne has spoken to them directly.

Amira’s case is highlighted in the report, with her uncle telling researchers that when he visited Amira, her hair was thin and it looked like she weighed 35 pounds.
