The children are believed to have been taken to safety following mass fleeing of camp holding Islamic State affiliates in north-east Syria

Three orphans believed to be British citizens have been evacuated from an area in northern Syria that was the focus of recent attacks by Turkish troops and their allies.

The Guardian understands that the three children, Amira, 10, her sister, Hiba, eight, and their brother, Hamza, were evacuated from a camp for people associated with Islamic State in Ain Issa on Sunday. They were part of a group of 28 children taken to safety by the UN refugee organisation.
