From sources, to compare: -- UPI reported "One of the two dead, 13-year-old Hajer Kyali, had been in intensive care but died Wednesday afternoon. Officials said her house was directly hit by one of the barrel bombs."

Mohammed Abu Jaafar, head of the local forensic department in the rebel-held part of Aleppo, said on Wednesday that the girl died overnight of suffocation and respiratory burns.
Mohammed Abu Rajab, a technician in an Aleppo medical center, says the teen was admitted to the intensive care unit following a suspected chlorine attack in the city's al-Sukkari neighborhood on Tuesday. He says she was suffering from the impact of the explosion, gas inhalation and burns. Her fascial bones were broken.
Note: There are no "fascial bones." Fascia runs bodywide under the skin Wikipedia. But there are facial bones. So to clarify, her breathing was complicated by a smashed face, caused by the physical barrel bomb impact/blast or after effects (or so it's being reported). But the actual chlorine killed her, realistically, as described. Clearly, video confirmation in this case would be unpleasant.

-- And here's video from the scene of this attack, and what looks like a 13-year-old girl stoically bearing some bad facial injuries. Out of about 100 total people affected, chances are this is her. Does she look chlorine-exposed and set to die from that the following day? Not to me. And those injuries ... why is one jaw bleeding, while the other seems swollen (infected?) and has an apparent hole nearby, into the cheekbone, that's not bleeding? WTF? --Caustic Logic (talk) 13:13, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
