## Transcript

[ NOISE ] The videos even by Syrian standard are among the most disturbing of this three year conflict. Body's with no apparent wounds, many children some limp, others listless, or gasping for air. The voice narrating this clip in Arabic cracks as repeats Only God can bring us justice. [ FOREIGN ]. Those who survived, helpless. Doctors said that among the symptoms were constricted pupils, rapid pulse, and difficulty breathing [ NOISE ]. One activist we spoke to, said. [ NOISE ] That his vision blurred he lost control of his limbs, and collapsed to the floor, gradually recovering hours later. So what caused these symptoms?

Rebels blame the Syrian government for using chemical weapons. Some saying the symptoms were consistent with Sarin Gas. [ FOREIGN ] The Syrian government flatly denied involvement. The incident came while a UN inspection team was on the ground examining evidence of prior alleged chemical weapon attacks. The inspectors are guests of the Syrian government, believed to be staying not far from where one of the attacks took place. Not yet clear whether they will be able to investigate this incident. [ NOISE ] With no way to protect themselves, people tried to wash off with water. One doctor told CNN that his field clinic ran out of atropine with in an hour.

And as the victims kept arriving, all they could do was provide oxygen. Arwa Damon CNN, Beirut.
