1/5- 5 years since the chemical attack by the Assad regime on #Saraqib, #Idlib. On February 4, 2018, helicopters dropped 2 cylinders loaded with toxic chlorine gas on a neighborhood of the city, injuring several people including #WhiteHelmets volunteers during initial response. 
2/5- The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons @OPCW has confirmed the Assad regime's responsibility for the attack through its Investigation and Identification Team (IIT) report from April 12, 2021.
3/5- The organization's Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) confirmed in its report issued on May 15, 2018 that chlorine gas was used in the attack on Saraqib based on evidence, samples, & testimonies of the injured and first responders to the incident, including #WhiteHelmets volunteers.
4/5- The UN & @OPCW have documented 9 instances of the Assad regime using chemical weapons in Syria despite the regime signing the Chemical Weapons Convention in 2013. Most recently, the OPCW's report that proved the Assad regimes responsibility on the #Douma attack in April 2018
5/5 - Despite the UN evidence and reports, no action has been taken to hold the Assad regime accountable for their use of chemical weapons. This failure to deliver justice to victims and prevent impunity is a threat to humanity's future.
