The United States has called on Russia to stop immediately supporting the Syrian government and “working with the international community to prevent further barbarous attacks with chemical weapons”.
> State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said through a statement that the United States is following disturbing reports that there has been another chemical attack on Syria this time at a Douma hospital.
The statement said that “, with its firm support for the Syrian regime, Russia falls responsibility for these brutal attacks that are targeted by countless civilians and are killing the most vulnerable Syrian communities with chemical weapons”.
The perpetrators say government forces dropped bombs with toxic chemicals yesterday, killing dozens while Syria continues its offensive against the opposition-controlled last city in eastern Gutan.
Syrian state media dismissed the rebels' claims as the army undertook attacks against Douma, located near the capital.
According to the Syrian Human Rights Monitor organisation, a chlorine gas bomb hit the hospital in Douma, though the organisation's director said he could not confirm the use of chemical weapons.
