A second child died in the same area on Tuesday this week according to Beirut’s Daily Star newspaper. Abu Ibrahim Bakr, the chief gynaecologist at the Zahraa Gynaecological Center in eastern Ghouta, said the latest victim had also been exposed to the attack. “The exposure to chemical weapons can absolutely cause the fetus’ deformations, especially if the pregnancy is in its first three months,” he told The Daily Star.
