Er is een wikipedia-pagina voor het zogenaamde gifgas incident in Douma op 7 april 2018. Daar staan verifieerbare berichten bij,

Je 'vergeet' de andere 2 berichten die ernaast staan :

CBS journalist Seth Doane also traveled to Douma on 16 April, where a neighbor reported a choking gas that smelled like chlorine. A man took him to the alleged site of the impact and showed where the remains of a missile rested.[64] Eliot Higgins, a citizen journalist and blogger investigating the Syrian civil war,[65][66] concluded based on geographical, video, and open source evidence that the chlorine gas was dropped by helicopters coming from Dumayr Airbase.[67][68] Military officials in London, Paris and Washington also insisted the attacks came from Dumayr.[69]

Journalist Robert Fisk visited Douma and spoke to doctors belonging to the clinic where the footage of the victims was filmed. Fisk described his encounter with one such doctor who said that the children in the video were not affected by a chemical attack, but by oxygen starvation while dwelling in the trash-filled tunnels of the city. The doctor added that during the bombardment, a large dust storm engulfed the tunnels and the children suffered from hypoxia. Fisk also stated that many people living in Douma do not believe a chemical attack happened.[70] Fisk traveled in the same media convoy with CBS News and TV4, which gave eyewitness accounts and interviews contradicting Fisk's account that the civilians died from "dust".[71]

The Guardian reported testimony from several witnesses that medical personnel in Douma have often been coerced into denying the existence of a chemical attack, with themselves and their families allegedly being threatened by the Assad regime if they offer any public testimonies.[72]
