The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has many indications of the use of chemical weapons in East Guta, the rebel enclave near the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Tuesday, but said it would be difficult to conduct an in-depth investigation. for these.
An OAGO mission has been investigating 70 gas attacks in Syria since 2014, out of a total of 370 reported attacks, said the organization's director general, Ahmet Uzumcu.
"There have been many recent allegations of chemical weapons attacks in East Guta," he told reporters before attending a closed-door meeting of the UN Security Council.
"Our experts are studying them, but clearly, since it is a pocket, it is difficult to access information," Uzumcu added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported chlorine attacks during a large-scale operation by Syrian government forces to retake villages in rebel-held eastern Guta.
