Survived from the chemical weapons attack

The night three years ago from today, in the Ghouta area of Damascus, was a truly unforgettable one, in which Assad's regime caused the massacre of over 1500 civilians with internationally banned chemical weapons. The young girl pictured here was one of the survivors, yet she, like all the other survivors of the brutal horror, was deeply scarred and shocked as a result of the events. As the photographer, it was the most difficult night of my life; I still remember how my hands were shaking uncontrollably as I was holding my camera.

 

For more detailed information, the link below leads to a documentary that shows what happened on that night in Ghouta:
