As
the regime's allies and foes traded barbs, UNICEF said one million
children have fled Syria in what the UN children's agency called a
"tragic milestone" in the 29-month conflict.
Opponents of
President Bashar al-Assad said his forces used chemical weapons east and
southwest of Damascus in attacks Wednesday that killed hundreds. The
regime denies the accusations.
Activists released harrowing
footage showing unconscious children, people foaming around the mouth
and doctors apparently giving them oxygen has triggered revulsion around
the world.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague blamed Syria
and demanded it grand immediate access to UN inspectors who are already
in the country to probe three other sites.
"We do believe this is a
chemical attack by the Assad regime on a large scale, but we would like
the United Nations to be able to assess that," said Hague.
