Description


Ghouta chemical attack

The Ghouta chemical attack occurred on 21 August 2013 during the Syrian Civil War, when several opposition-controlled or disputed areas of the Ghouta suburbs of the Markaz Rif Dimashq district around Damascus, Syria, were struck by rockets containing the chemical agent sarin. Hundreds were killed in the attack, which took place over a short span of time in the early morning. Estimates of the death toll range from 'at least 281' to 1,729 fatalities.[15] The incident may be the deadliest use of chemical weapons since the Iran–Iraq War.[23][24][25]
