The town that never woke up: Inside the devastated Damascus suburb Ain Tarma where 1,300 innocent Syrians were gassed in their beds

These are the haunting images of the Damascus suburb that has been left a ghost town after 1,300 of its residents were gassed as they slept in their beds yesterday. The day after the chemical attacks left the streets deserted and makeshift morgues piled high with bodies of innocent women and children, the world broke out in protest at yesterday's gas attack in Syria. Chinese and Russian tensions with Western powers have allegedly meant that the U.N. Security Council has stopped short of sending a team - who are already in Syria to investigate alleged previous attacks in other areas - to examine the site, but have called for 'clarity' over the deadly incident. Instead of demanding the U.N. experts - who are just a few kilometres from the attacked neighbourhood - visit the site, the council's statement was allegedly watered down to appease the Russian and Chinese governments who have previously vetoed Western attempts to impose penalties on the Syrian government.
