The children of Khan Sheikhoun were the first to suffer as the suspected nerve gas sarin, a fast-killing agent, damaged their lungs and caused racking pain. As they tried to breath, they started to foam at the mouth. Twenty died horrible deaths at the last count, there may be more. By Wednesday, April 5, at least 72 people had died and over a hundred more were struggling for life in makeshift clinics. One clinic treating the victims of the sarin attack was targeted and hit by a Syrian rocket.
