Problem:Syria: Thousands Suffering Neurotoxic Symptoms Treated in Hospitals Supported by MSF 
  
 Brussels/New York, August 24, 2013 -- Three hospitals in Syria's Damascus governorate that are supported by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have reported to MSF that they received approximately 3,600 patients displaying neurotoxic symptoms in less than three hours on the morning of Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Of those patients, 355 reportedly died. 
  
 Since 2012, MSF has built a strong and reliable collaboration with medical networks, hospitals and medical points in the Damascus governorate, and has been providing them with drugs, medical equipment and technical support. Due to significant security risks, MSF staff members have not been able to access the facilities. 
  
 “Medical staff working in these facilities provided detailed information to MSF doctors regarding large numbers of patients arriving with symptoms including convulsions, excess saliva, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision and respiratory distress,” said Dr. Bart Janssens, MSF director of operations. 
  
 Patients were treated using MSF-supplied atropine, a drug used to treat neurotoxic symptoms. MSF is now trying to replenish the facilities’ empty stocks and provide additional medical supplies and guidance. 
  
 “MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack,” said Dr. Janssens. “However, the reported symptoms of the patients, in addition to the epidemiological pattern of the events—characterized by the massive influx of patients in a short period of time, the origin of the patients, and the contamination of medical and first aid workers—strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent. This would constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, which absolutely prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons.” 
  
 In addition to 1,600 vials of atropine supplied over recent months, MSF has now dispatched 7,000 additional vials to facilities in the area. Treatment of neurotoxic patients is now being fully integrated into MSF’s medical strategies in all its programs in Syria. 
  
 “MSF hopes that independent investigators will be given immediate access to shed light on what happened,” said Christopher Stokes, MSF general director. “This latest attack and subsequent massive medical need come on top of an already catastrophic humanitarian situation, characterised by extreme violence, displacement, and deliberate destruction of medical facilities. In the case of such extreme violations of humanitarian law, humanitarian assistance cannot respond effectively and becomes meaningless itself.” 
  
 MSF provides medical assistance in Syria through two different approaches. MSF international and national staff operate six hospitals and four health centers in structures fully under the organization’s direct control in the north of Syria. In areas where MSF cannot send its own teams because of insecurity or lack of access, the organization has expanded a program begun two years ago of supporting Syrian medical networks, hospitals and medical posts, by providing drugs, medical equipment, and technical advice and support. Through the latter program, MSF has been supporting 27 hospitals and 56 medical posts throughout Syria. 
  
  
  
 From June 2012 through the end of June 2013, MSF teams carried out more than 55,000 medical consultations, 2,800 surgical procedures, and assisted in 1,000 births inside Syria. MSF teams have also provided more than 140,000 consultations for Syrian refugees in neighboring countries.

 Medecins Sans Frontieres says hospitals it supports in Syria treated about 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms", of whom 355 have died. 
  
 The medical charity said the patients had arrived in three hospitals in the Damascus area on 21 August - when opposition activists say chemical attacks were launched against rebels. 
  
 But MSF says it cannot "scientifically confirm" the use of chemical weapons. 
  
 Both sides in the conflict accuse each other of using them. 
  
 MSF says staff at the hospitals described a large number of patients arriving in the space of less than three hours with symptoms including convulsions, dilated pupils and breathing problems.

 It said many were treated with atropine, a drug administered to those with "neurotoxic symptoms". 
  
 "MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack," said MSF Director of Operations Bart Janssens. 
  
 But it added that the symptoms, as well as the "massive influx of patients in a short period of time" strongly suggest mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent. 
  
 "This would constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, which absolutely prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons," MSF said. 
  
 International divisions 
  
 The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights - a British-based group that monitors the conflict - estimated that 322 had died, 54 of them children. 
  
 In the immediate aftermath, casualty figures varied widely with opposition activists saying between several hundred and more than 1,000 had been killed. 
  
 Correspondents say MSF's statement adds to mounting allegations that chemical weapons were used in suburbs to the east of Damascus and in an area to the south-west on 21 August. 
  
 Unverified video footage posted soon afterwards shows civilians, many of them children, dead or suffering from what appear to be horrific symptoms consistent with a chemical attack. 
  
 Rebels and opposition activists accuse forces supporting President Bashar al-Assad of carrying out such attacks. 
  
 But state TV accuses the rebels, saying barrels of chemical weapons were found as troops entered previously rebel-held districts.

 The international community is split on the issue. Russia and Iran, both allies of Damascus, have separately accused the rebels of using chemical weapons. 
  
 But France's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Saturday that all available information indicates that the government of Bashar al-Assad was responsible. 
  
 UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has also said he believes this was "a chemical attack by the Assad regime". 
  
 In phone call on Saturday, US President Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron reaffirmed their "grave concern about the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime against civilians near Damascus on Wednesday", the White House said. 
  
 The two leaders agreed to continue consulting closely on the incident and on possible responses by the international community to the use of such weapons, it added. 
  
 The UN disarmament chief Angela Kane has meanwhile arrived in Damascus to press the Syrian government to allow access to the sites of the alleged attacks. 
  
 A team of UN weapons inspectors has been in Syria since 18 August to inspect three sites, but Damascus has not yet said whether it will allow them to expand their visit. 
  
 The UN says more than 100,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Assad began more than two years ago. |||||
Solution:
While the Syrian government and rebels argue over who is using chemical weapons on whom, and the US government weighs what, if anything, it should do about it, Doctors Without Borders (AKA Medecins Sans Frontieres) has added weight to the allegations that chemical weapons were indeed used in the attack. In a new release, the aid group says that on Wednesday morning, it received about 3,600 patients in three hours showing "neurotoxic symptoms" at the three hospitals it supports in Damascus. Of those, 355 have since died, reports the BBC. "MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for the attack," says the group's director of operations. "However, the reported symptoms of the patients, in addition to the epidemiological pattern of the events ... strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent." While the US government still has no official decision on whether it believes the attacks were chemical, Chuck Hagel conceded to reporters "it appears to be what happened—use of chemical weapons," the AP reports.
