Dalya Khaled al-Masoud will never forget the day her family came under chemical attack.
Her family was displaced, and they were living in a tent in Khan Sheikhoun, in northwestern Syria.
In the early hours of the morning on April 4, 2017, “We were sitting outside, and suddenly, we felt the smell,” Masoud recalled recently, speaking from a rehabilitation center in Turkey. “And I felt my heart sink. And I couldn’t breathe.”
“We went inside, closed the door,” she said. “But we could still smell the odor.”
Masoud, who later fled to Turkey with her family, said that thinking about that day makes her sad.
