The first six refugees to be resettled in New Zealand under a landmark deal with Australia have arrived in Auckland

It’s the first resettlement deal offered by New Zealand in nine years when it offered to take 150 refugees from Australia’s offshore processing centres.

The first six refugees arrived from Naura on Tuesday afternoon local time.

It comes as Human Rights Watch pushes Australia to allow more than 30 children and 16 women to be returned from Syria to Australia.

In a new report, the group found that despite years of detention in life-threatening conditions with insufficient water and food, the children are doing well in school.

Many have also integrated back to life smoothly.

Many children repatriated from detention camps for Islamic State (ISIS) suspects and their families in northeast Syria are successfully reintegrating in their home countries, Human Rights Watch said in a report.

The 63-page report, “‘My Son is Just Another Kid’: Experiences of Children Repatriated from Camps for ISIS Suspects and Their Families in Northeast Syria,” documents the experiences of approximately 100 children who have been repatriated or returned to France, Germany, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Uzbekistan between 2019 and 2022.
