Abdul Hamid Youssef says the attack shook him from a deep sleep.He awoke, finding it difficult to breathe. Leaping from bed, Youssef scrambled to make sure his 9-month-old twins were still alive. Apparently unharmed, he passed them to his wife and told her to stay in the house. Rushing outside to check on his parents next door, Youssef passed people staggering and falling in the street. Youssef and many members of his extended family live on the northern edge of Khan Sheikhoun, a town in Syria's Idlib province. On Tuesday, airstrikes battered an area near their local bakery, meters from Youssef's home. But it wasn't just any attack -- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been accused of using chemical weapons in the strikes that rattled the rebel-held area while many were still sleeping. Youssef arrived in his parents' house to find his two brothers dead. Panicked, he rushed back to his home to check on his wife and babies.
This is so scary. And what is America doing to help? America needs to work harder to help others everywhere.
This is definitely scary. I wish this never happened and hope Youssef's family is okay and recovering. It's sad to know that when their are attacks or bombing, their are scared families trying to protect each other and innocent lives are lost.
