GENEVA \u00a0– The World Health Organization said on Wednesday around 500 people had been treated for \u201csigns and symptoms consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals\u201d after a suspected poison gas attack in a Syrian rebel enclave just before it fell.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump and Western allies are considering military action to punish Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the reported poison gas assault on Saturday in the town of Douma, which had long had held out against a government siege. Damascus said reports of a gas attack are false.<\/p>\n

The WHO condemned the incident and said over 500 people from Douma had been treated for symptoms of gas poisoning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, there were signs of severe irritation of mucous membranes, respiratory failure and disruption to central nervous systems of those exposed,\u201d the United Nations health agency said in a statement issued in Geneva.<\/p>\n

It cautioned that the WHO has no formal role in forensic inquiries into the use of chemical weapons. International chemical weapons inspectors are seeking assurances from Damascus of safe passage to and from Douma to determine whether globally banned munitions were used, though will not assign blame.<\/p>\n

WHO also said that more than 70 people sheltering from bombardment in basements in the former rebel pocket of eastern Ghouta, where Douma is located, were reported to have died.<\/p>\n

It said 43 of those deaths were \u201crelated to symptoms consistent with exposure to highly toxic chemicals,\u201d citing reports from its local health partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should all be outraged at these horrific reports and images from Douma,\u201d said Peter Salama, WHO\u2019s deputy director-general for emergency preparedness and response.<\/p>\n

\u201cWHO demands immediate unhindered access to the area to provide care to those affected, to assess the health impacts, and to deliver a comprehensive public health response,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

U.N. aid agencies lack access to most of eastern Ghouta, from which rebels are withdrawing under a deal with the Syrian government that restored its control over the region.<\/p>\n

WHO said it had trained more than 800 Syrian health workers to recognise symptoms and treat patients for chemical weapons exposure. The U.N. agency has also distributed antidotes for nerve agents, including in besieged Douma last year.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped in Douma, the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said on Tuesday, and it demanded access to the area.<\/p>\n

More than 133,000 people are estimated to have fled a desperate humanitarian situation in eastern Ghouta over the past four weeks, UNHCR added.<\/p>\n
