The United Nations (UN) says it will take over management of a camp in north-eastern Syria holding holding thousands of people with alleged links to the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).
It comes after Kurdish-led forces that had been running the camp withdrew in the face of an advance by Syrian government forces, triggering unrest that forced aid agencies to suspend operations.
Residents were reported to have rushed camp perimeters in an apparent attempt to escape, prompting unrest and looting.
A ceasefire agreement has brought much of Syria's north-east under the control of Damascus, ending years of autonomous Kurdish rule.
Briefing the UN Security Council on Thursday, UN official Edem Wosornu said the UN refugee agency UNHCR had "taken over camp management responsibilities" at al-Hol and was working with Syrian authorities to restore humanitarian access. Syrian forces, she said, had established a security perimeter around the camp.
