Syrian regime blamed for killing children with possible sarin gas
- 7 years ago
MIDDLE EAST — Some bad stuff went down on Tuesday in a country that YouTube doesn’t like us to mention, when suspected government jets dropped nerve gas on their own people.
A toxic chemical suspected to be sarin gas was reportedly dropped on the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib starting at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, CNN reported.
Sarin can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin. Once inside the body, it attacks the central nervous system.
Five minutes after the first atrocity, three more airstrikes took place, but no descriptions of gas were reported.
Four hours later, a makeshift clinic and a hospital where the injured were being treated were targeted in further chemical atrocities. At least 72 lives were lost and more than were 100 injured, according to the Guardian.
Activists and medics from Doctors Without Borders said the symptoms of the injured were consistent with a nerve agent like sarin.
Footage and photos that emerged from the town showed a truly horrific scene.
The local government has denied responsibility for the atrocities. Instead, the regime said religiously-motivated virgin seekers were responsible.
Well, it didn’t use those words exactly, but again, we don’t want to trigger YouTube and have our video demonetized.
Russia also said it had nothing to do with it. Turkey, however, said it had evidence of a chemical atrocity.
