Graphic Content: Genocide In Syria, As Women And Children Are Killed In Nerve Gas Attack (PHOTOS)

While these pictures of dead children are graphic, disturbing and undoubtedly the worst so far to have emerged from the conflict, MailOnline has made the decision to publish them in order to raise awareness of the plight of innocent people.
Syrian activists accused President Bashar al-Assad's forces of launching a nerve gas attack that killed at 1,300 people today, in what would, if confirmed, be by far the worst reported use of poison gas in the two-year-old civil war.
Activists said rockets with chemical agents hit the Damascus suburbs of Ain Tarma, Zamalka and Jobar before dawn.

Bodies of people, including children that were killed by nerve gas.
