Syria's Chemical Attack: 500 People Affected

[Ronlop 6,882]

(CNN)About 500 people may have been affected by a suspected chemical attack on Syria's rebel-held town of Douma, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

It remains difficult to place an exact figure on the number of people killed and wounded in Saturday's alleged attack on the outskirts of Damascus, which has pushed the US and its allies to the verge of military confrontation in Syria.

But in a statement on Wednesday, the WHO, citing reports from its health partners, said an estimated 500 patients seen at medical facilities exhibited symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals.

Disgusting. We need to teach Assad that using these weapons have consequences.

I like how the comment section of this thread is a representative of how the world actually cares about this situation.

It's GGD. It's a stan forum, so a bubble. If hit threads represented the worlds passions, the most popular pass time in the world would be incest fantasy threads.

Even though i find it absurd to put acts of violence on a scale, i find chemical warfare to be worse than most if not all other types of war. The amount of suffering it creates is beyond cruel and it sickens me that we, as a race, can get so *beeped* in our brains to the point where we can justify using it.

If it were another country it would get way more comments

 

OP: Horrible.

Nobody should ever go through this. Terrible. Rest In Peace to all dying victims. And hope those surviving can go through this well.
