In its statement published yesterday Wednesday, the Ministry added that the Government of Damascus maintains chemicals for the use of sarin gas and the development of new chemical weapons despite having previously declared that it has no stockpile.

It should be noted that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed the use of chlorine gas by Damascus government forces in an attack on the city of Saraqeb in 2018.

Earlier, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented the number of chemical attacks carried out by the Damascus Government since the outbreak of the crisis, amounting to some 336 chemical attacks, the most famous of which was the attack on Eastern Ghouta, which killed 1,500 people in 12 hours, mostly children.
