At least 1,300 people have been killed in a nerve gas attack on Syria’s
Ghouta region, leading opposition figure George Sabra said on Wednesday.
In response, the opposition Syrian National Coalition called for an urgent
U.N. Security Council meeting on the subject.
“I call on the Security Council to convene urgently,” National Coalition
leader Ahmed al-Jarba added to Al-Arabiya news channel, condemning the Syrian
army’s bombardment of the Ghouta suburbs of Damascus as a “massacre.”
