The airstrikes that has caused death of innocent children and women through the release of the deadly gas, have been blamed on President Bashar al Assads military, but the government has denied using chemical weapons on its citizens.

Syria's military denied on Tuesday that it used chemical weapons against civilians, saying it is too "honorable" to carry out such "heinous" crimes.

 

"The general command of the army and armed forces categorically denies using any chemical or poisonous materials in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in the Idlib countryside today, nor has it used or will it use them in any place or time previously or in the future," the military said in a statement on Facebook.

 

Scores of people are dead, including the father of twin, Abdel Hameed al-Youssef,  who said alongside his lovely twins, that he lost other family members in the horrific attack. He said,

 

"I was right beside them. I took them outside with their mother," al-Youssef, 29, "They were conscious, but 10 minutes later, we could smell [the gas], and my children couldn't handle it anymore. I left them to the medics and went to find my family."

 

"My brother Yasser is dead. I couldn't save him. So is my brother Abdel Kareem. My nephew Yasser Mohammad, I couldn't save. Ammar my nephew, I couldn't save. Shaimaa my niece, I couldn't save. My sister-in-law, they all died. Two of our workers, 11 of another family died in their own land. Khaled and his wife, Abounajib, his wife and his daughter," al-Youssef told the Associated Press(AP).

 

Many have condemned the attack including the U.S President Donald Trump, who termed the attack as heinous actions, by President Bashaar al-Assad regime.
