First victim of chemical weapons massacre enters Lebanon

The first victim of Ghouta's chemical weapons massacre has gained access into Lebanon late Thursday, through "illegal channels," after many similar cases were denied entrance by Syrian security forces, various media outlets reported Friday. Exit points at the Syrian-Lebanese borders are seeing enormous influx of victims of the chemical weapons that were launched on Ghouta, outside of Damascus, few days ago. The affected have been trying to gain entrance through "illegal channels" due to tight security measures on the borders, media quoted security and medical sources. The first case that was able to enter into the Lebanese soil was that of a 14-year old boy. His parents were able to gain access through an illegal route into Bekka Valley, east Lebanon. However, most hospitals refused his admittance yet Lebanon's Red Cross Society insisted on getting him to one of the hospitals. At last, they left the boy in front of a hospital's entrance despite the management's refusal to admit him. "Spraying the boy with water and shaving his head," was the only treatment the boy received from the medical staff, the sources relayed. Nonetheless, an Islamic group in Bekka carried the responsibility of transferring him to another hospital in Beirut, the sources went on saying.
