Social media news pages and personal accounts shared a video showing kids with breathing troubles being treated in what appears to be a field hospital.

Video publishers said it was taken on Sunday from Idlib city after a chemical weapons airstrike targeted a hospital.

Verify-Sy would like to remind the audience that this video was published on YouTube since 2013 under the title “children dying after chemical weapons massacre in Eastern Ghouta”.

Worth to mention that airstrikes targeted many hospitals in Idlib province yesterday with missiles loaded with Chlorine gas which killed and injured many civilians in addition to huge damage to the targeted hospitals.
