Many civilians, including children were killed when a poisonous gas suspected to be sarin was dropped on settlements in Northern Syria. The US is blaming the attack on Assad-backed government forces.

O le osofaiga na faia i le nuu o Khan Sheikhoun, i Matu i Sisifo o Suria.

 

O le toatele o e ua maliliu o tamaiti, ma na molimauina le tau momole ma faigata ona manava, ma le piapia i olatou gutu (sei tulou).

 

O loo taumate nisi o se Kasa e aafia ai neura o le tino.

 

O se tasi o molimau o se tagata faigaluega i taavale a le falema'i....

 

"Around 6.45 this morning we got news of air strikes in Khan Sheikhoun. We sent three ambulances and it took around 45 minutes to get there. There were still many people suffering from suffocation, mainly children, but also men and women too. Mostly hospitals around the area are full of people suffering from suffocation. It's hard to find the words to describe it, most of those suffering from suffocation are children. More than 50 per cent are children."

 

O loo teena e le peresitene ma le faigamalo a Bashar al-Assad lo latou faia o lenei osofaiga, ma latou tuuaia vaegaau fouvale.

 

Peitai o le osofaiga na faia e auala i le faapauu o pomu ma le kasa mai le 'ea, ae leai se air force a le vaegaau fouvale.
