1/6 Thread on chemical attacks in #Syria. As yesterday was The Day Of Remembrance For All Victims Of Chemical Warfare, I remember the #KhanShaykhun's horrific attack, when I rushed to hospitals, I found dozens of injured civilians dying, and the medical staff unable to help.
2/6 On 4 April 2017, a warplane took off from Shayrat Air Base, which is under the control of Russian-backed government forces, targeting the town of Khan Shaykhun, south of #Idlib province, at 6:30 morning with chemicals, killing 90 civilians and wounding 541 others.
3/6 “The attack were near my brother's house, when I tried to save people, I fell like them,” an injured who died days later said
“Even Civil Defense @SyriaCivilDef teams and paramedics were injured,” another injured I interviewed him in this video said https://smartnews-agency.com/en/videos/2017-04-05-%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AC%D9%88%D9%86-%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%88%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%80-%D8%B3%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AA-%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%87%D9%85-%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B8%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%B8%D8%A7%D9%85-%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%AE%D8%A7%D9%86-
