A Syrian boy holds an oxygen mask over the face of an infant at a makeshift hospital following a reported gas attack on the besieged, rebel-held town of Douma in the eastern Ghouta region on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus, on Jan. 22, 2018. At least 21 cases of suffocation, including children, were reported in the town, according to an NGO accusing the regime of carrying out a new chemical attack. Since the beginning of the war in Syria in 2011, the government of Bashar al-Assad has been repeatedly accused by UN investigators of using chlorine gas or sarin gas in sometimes lethal chemical attacks.
