Yousef lives among thousands of displaced Syrians in a settlement near the Turkish border, worried he will never be able to go back to the hometown he left behind. “I buried the most important thing I have in my life there, my children and my siblings.'
When Abdel Hamid Yousef lost his 9-month-old twins in the poison gas attack that hit the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun in April 2017, the world witnessed his heartbreak and grief in the video of him cradling their lifeless bodies in his arms, bidding them farewell in the chaotic aftermath of the attack.
“I buried the most important thing I have in my life there, my children and my siblings. I used to find some relief by visiting them twice a week at the grave,” he said in a recent interview. “I cannot do that anymore.” The Syrian government and its Russian allies denied there was a chemical attack, while Syrian officials later said the air force bombed a rebel arsenal that had chemical weapons stored inside.
In this April 4, 2017, photo, Abdel Hamid Yousef, holds his twin babies, who were killed in a chemical weapons attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria. He lost the twins, his wife and 16 other relatives in the poison gas attack. Determined to continue with his life, Yousef remarried and has an 11-month-old daughter. But tragedy keeps chasing the 31-year-old former shopkeeper.
