Sarin gas survivor describes US airstrike as 'game-changer'

Kassem Eid, who survived the sarin gas attack on Ghouta in 2013, said he felt like the US move was a "game changer."

 

Speaking from his home in Germany where he now lives, he told Middle East Eye that: "This might be the beginning of a new era, this might be actually a real chance for peace in Syria,"

 

"I was very happy, overwhelmed," he said. "We’ve been waiting for this for a long time, we have been waiting to see Assad held accountable for more than six years and this was the first time we’ve seen any punishment."
