An affected Syrian child receives medical treatment after Assad regime forces allegedly conducted poisonous gas attack to Duma town of Eastern Ghouta in Damascus
There are "Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria", Trump wrote, urging "Animal Assad" to allow medical personnel to enter the area.
One member of White Helmets told Al Jazeera that an entire family suffocated to death as they hid in their cellar, trying to seek shelter from air raids and barrel bombs.
The US has called on Russian Federation to end its support for the Syrian regime following an alleged chemical attack in the city in which 70 people - many of them women and children - have reportedly been killed, and 500 more civilians injured.
It is likely the Syrian leader will pay the price in the form of a few US Tomahawk missiles hitting one of the regime military bases, but it is abundantly clear the Americans won't go further than that. He called the attack another "humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever".
The United States launched a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base past year in response to a sarin gas attack in northwestern Syria blamed on Assad.
Syrian government forces resumed their offensive on rebel-held Douma on Friday afternoon after a 10-day truce collapsed over disagreement regarding the evacuation of Army of Islam fighters.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment on the possibility of another United States strike.
The Britain-based Observatory said it could not confirm whether chemical weapons had been used in the attack on Saturday.

"The United States calls on Russian Federation to end this unmitigated support immediately and work with the global community to prevent further, barbaric chemical weapons attacks", she said in the statement.

CPO could benefit from US-China trade war

Campaign urges Israel soldiers to refuse to shoot unarmed Palestinians
Israel argues that Hamas could have ended the suffering of Gaza's 2 million people by disarming and renouncing violence . The Israel Defense Forces denied reports that the suspects had shot at Israeli equipment or troops.
"The Assad regime and its backers must be held accountable and any further attacks prevented immediately", she said.
"Any negotiations held now are with the Syrian State exclusively after "Jaish al-Islam" terrorists begged for cessation of military operations launched against them yesterday night", the source said. "There is not a good or a bad war, and nothing can justify such instruments that exterminate defenseless people and populations", he said.
Saturday's alleged chemical attack comes just days after Iran, Turkey and Russian Federation vowed to "speed up their efforts to ensure calm on the ground" and work for a lasting ceasefire in Syria.
Russia said on Sunday that military "intervention under false & fabricated pretexts in Syria, where Russian servicemen stay at the request of the legitimate government, is absolutely unacceptable and may trigger the gravest consequences", according to Washington Post Beirut bureau chief, Liz Sly.
The US State Division stated experiences of mass casualties from the assault have been "horrifying" and would, if confirmed, "demand a direct response by the worldwide group".
The Syrian civil war has lurched from one set of complexities to another. Will those same thousands take to the streets and will those same media outlets also report on the criminal chemical attack that reportedly killed anywhere from 41 to 150 people?
Douma is in the eastern Ghouta region near Damascus.
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres said he was "particularly alarmed", adding that any confirmed use of chemical weapons would be "abhorrent".
An agreement has been reached to release all prisoners held by Syrian rebels controlling the eastern Ghouta city of Douma in return for the fighters' leaving the city, Syrian state television reported on Sunday, citing an official source.
