Chemical weapons have been used at least 161 times during Syria’s five-year civil conflict, with nearly 1,500 deaths resulting from such attacks. That’s according to a new report by the Syrian American Medical Society.
Its estimates are based on the accounts of the medical personnel from hospitals the charity supports. Chemical weapons have been used even after the Security Council in 2013 ordered to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons program.
The order followed an attack on a Damascus suburb that killed hundreds of civilians. Meanwhile, last Sunday a three-year-old girl was killed and 600 people wounded in chemical attacks reportedly carried out by Daesh in northern Iraq.
The tragedy happened just a few days after one of the attacked villages was shelled with “poisonous substances,” after which dozens suffered from choking and skin irritation.
