(Հայերեն) Սիրիայում քիմիական զենք է օգտագործվել երեխաների նկատմամբ
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | March 8, 2013 13:18Chemical weapons are being used against children in war-torn Syria, it was claimed today.
Evidence of youngsters including babies being targeted includes pictures of them covered in horrific wounds.
Surgeons believe they were caused by nerve gases including one called Agent XV which has been unleashed by the Syrian Army.
Paris Match, the French weekly magazine, today publishes disturbing pictures of some of the victims, including a boy identified only by his first name of Omar.
The 13-year-old saw all his family wiped out in an attack on their home in the city of Homs two months ago, saying that they were hit by ‘A bomb like no other’ which caused ‘yellow smoke’.
Omar escaped, but has since suffered all the symptoms of a nerve gas attack, including soars, paralysed limbs, burns and blisters. He has since been evacuated to Libya, where he is undergoing specialist treatment.
The French media, including Paris Match, today suggested that evidence of the gas attack means a ‘red line had been crossed’, and that western countries were duty bound to intervene in the civil war.
It follows William Hague, Britain’s Foreign Secretary, hinting that Britain could start arming rebel fighters in Syria within months.
Mr Hague warned this week warned that the conflict was becoming a ‘catastrophic’ humanitarian crisis.
Syria’s uprising began in March 2011 with protests against President Bashar Assad’s authoritarian rule.
The United Nations estimates that more than 70,000 people have been killed.
