He said around twenty minutes after the attack, around 8: 45 pm, an urgent massage was sent to him by field crews.
“Come to hospital in hurry. There are many injuries,” the message said.
“I rushed to the hospital. I was running all the way. I was just praying that the injuries weren’t serious and at least no children or women [were] amongst them,” Qappani said.People were screaming and crying in the hospital, as doctors treated what appeared to be symptoms of a toxic gas attack. Many had been killed or injured.
When Qappani reached the place, it was full of people screaming and crying. He saw injured people being treated by doctors even though no external signs of wounds were visible on their bodies.
“Before I started filming, I began helping them as much as I could because, for me, saving lives is far more important than sharing any footage to a never caring world,” he said.
Most of the injured were conscious, though some appeared to be hallucinating.
“All of a sudden, their noses and mouths started to bleed. Then I saw shock on the faces of the doctors,” who were now realising these were symptoms of a toxic gas attack, according to the Syrian activist.
He was immediately reminded of the chemical weapons attack on Eastern Ghouta in August 2013, widely blamed on the Syrian regime.
