of a chemical attack on a rebel whole air. thank you to our confirmed medics say at least seventy people have been killed in a suspected gas strike in touma the government is calling it a fabrication and a hawkster has more in a warning you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. believe it or not these children are the lucky ones basic and crude emergency care for victims of a suspected chemical attack but they survived they didn't these are the latest victims in eastern as regime forces at closer to defeating them planets in the rebel held pocket medical sources on the ground say victims appear to show symptoms consistent with mix nerve or chlorine gas exposure syrian state media has dismissed talk of the regime using a poison gas as fast sickle. local hospital staff say many of the victims of saturday's attacks were treated for suffocation only

a few number of physicians and medical stuff are left and to treat the in the book menu of their own needs right now are they shield in basements and use indorse you know chemical weapons like chlorine or some of those by the fact that this gas goes down to the basement and those people are or taking shoes from barrel bombs are getting docks acutely those chemical weapons and that's where the casualties are high and. the syrian government forces stepped up their offensive on the rebel held duma after a ten day truce collapsed. the russian brokered cease fire fell through of a disagreement over evacuation rebels hundreds of fighters and their families were convoyed out of jumah but josh al islam one of the main rebel groups refused to go delaying president assad's overall conquest this is the most important the biggest city in the area and by capturing it actually they would be just finishing

off all the. position and display i mean very important subject area surrounding the mosque is not only done they would be evacuating the area from the malls for the. position of force which is the army. with the latest round of between assets government and the last rebel held town scenes like this looks set to continue. the u.s. state department russia ultimately bears responsibility for the brutal targeting of countless syrians with chemical weapons russia's protection of the assad regime and failure to stop the use of chemical weapons in syria calls into question its commitment to resolving the overall crisis that's washington amos monitoring events in amman in jordan she joins us live so natasha the number. of fatalities that we're hearing is seven a seventy pardon me seventy which is

a horrible enough number but it seems that the number might actually change what do we know about them the latest information that's coming at. well it is a very grim according to accounts that are filtering out on social media and from witnesses you have to bear in mind that dumas is one of the last rebel stronghold in eastern guta it's the biggest town left and because of its proximity to damascus the capital it was considered and is considered a very strategic one the people in duma have been under constant intense assault for weeks and it appears last night they are now according to witnesses the victims of yet another chemical attack it would be if confirmed at least the third one big one during the war in syria what we're hearing is that people explaining watching their loved ones be suffocated as they took to their basements to seek shelter from

bombardments witnesses are saying that there have been dozens of air strikes since saturday that have continued into the morning the big issue right now richelle is that there is already a dearth of medical care in dubai we're being told again by witnesses that the red crescent isn't even operable that it was bombed yesterday during these airstrikes we're also hearing that another hospital in duma is in operable so what we have is a situation with at least seventy people killed hundreds we're being told on social media are injured from what appears to be a chemical attack in addition to dozens of air strikes that have continued throughout the night and there are simply no medical personnel or at least not enough medical personnel to help them there is a group a civil defense group that has been desperately trying to dig through the rubble to try to evacuate evacuate people and help them but clearly. they do not have the

medical expertise to help people so what we can expect in the coming hours is likely a big increase in the number of deaths and more information about the struggle to help those who have been injured ok natasha in a monitoring the situation from ahmed thank you. doctors in gaza are struggling to treat hundreds of palestinians injured by israeli forces during friday's protests along the israel border hospitals had declared a state of emergency due to a severe shortage of supplies how to delamater ports of a hospital and gaza. isn't an easy atmosphere in the ward the patients are in pain but this is silent worry of those around them that is most striking. when not in the hood he cannot contain his despair he has three sons all three maimed to protest is the last one to be injured and his condition is the most worry he has already lost his left leg in an accident a few years ago now his right one is at risk.

emergency unit and we've used all our stock. injuries are in the lower part of the body external fixators for limbs antibiotics and the d.j. and other necessities have run out or are in short supply getting anything into gaza requires a lengthy and complicated process under normal circumstances the health system suffers from shortages about half of the drugs needed and a third of the equipment are lacking but the situation gets even further complicated by political developments because seventeen year old mohammed a sports lover was told that nothing more could be done here in gaza there are train his leg is torn and he's losing a lot of blood he needs to be transferred to the occupied west back to the hospital there is waiting the paperwork is done by the israelis won't allow him to make good journey no one has been able to get out since the protests began. listens for my
