Medical relief organisation says a chlorine bomb hit a hospital, killing six people, with total death toll from chemical attacks at 35

A Syrian rebel group has accused government forces of dropping a barrel bomb containing poisonous chemicals on civilians in eastern Ghouta and a medical relief organisation said 35 people had been killed in chemical attacks on the area.

Syrian state media denied claims by Jaish al-Islam that government forces had launched any chemical attack and said rebels in the eastern Ghouta town of Douma were in a state of collapse and spreading false news.

I was just reading about this. A bit of a hubbub about this. We are monitoring the situation closely per the articles.

The UN is only good at writing "Letters of Concern" and condemning Zionism.
