At least 49 people were killed and hundreds more were injured in a chemical weapons attack in Douma on Saturday, said Markram. More than 500 people showed symptoms consistent with a chemical attack, he said.
Markram, who briefed the council last week on chemical weapons in Syria, again called for unity of the council on a dedicated mechanism for accountability for chemical weapons use in the country.
He said the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), through its Fact-Finding Mission (FFM), is gathering information about the attack from all available sources. The FFM will report its findings upon completion of its investigation, he said.
