On this day in 2018, the Assad regime launched a #ChemicAlattack in #Saraqib City, #Syria. At least 12 people suffocated, according to UN reports. Despite an #OPCW investigation that proved the regime's responsibility, no accountability has been sought to date. 
The #Saraqib attack was one of three chemical attacks for which the Assad regime was found responsible by the #OPCW, with the others occurring in #Lataminah (March 2017) and #Douma (April 2018). 43 people suffocated to death in the Douma attack alone.
The Saraqib attack occurred a day after a Russian fighter was shot down near Saraqib City in #Idlib, and coincided with a brutal military campaign by #Russia and the #Assad regime against civilians across #Syria.
To date, despite evidence of the regime's responsibility and #Russia's support, no action has been taken to hold the perpetrators of these horrific chemical attacks accountable. "SNHR" has documented over 222 chemical attacks in #Syria, resulting in over 1,500 deaths.
