Turkey says treating 30 after suspected Syria chemical attack
Turkey’s health minister says some 30 Syrians have been brought to the Turkish city of Gaziantep, bordering Syria, for treatment following a suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria.
Recep Akdag said Wednesday that initial symptoms and findings confirm that the wounded were the victims of a chemical attack. His comments were reported by the Haber Turk news channel.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said that at least 72 people died, including 11 children, in Tuesday’s attack in a rebel-held town in northern Syria.
