Syria chemical 'attack': Father grieves for nine-month-old twins

Abdulhameed Alyousef originally thought his nine-month-old twins Aya and Ahmed were unaffected by the air strike and left them with their mother Dalal while he went to help relatives nearby.

But later he found out that all three had died in the incident.

"I left Ahmed and Aya in good health," he said through tears in an interview.

"Why did this happen? I thought they were OK. Now they are gone."
