With more alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of what is going on in Syria. If you have Netflix, I highly recommend watching "The White Helmets" on Netflix. This was the Oscar winner for the Best Documentary Short Subject category and a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The documentary centers around this group as they volunteer to save lives in Turkey and Syria.
They were one of the first people to respond to the latest chemical weapons attack in Syria. In this article survivors of chemical weapon's attacks detail their experiences and their is some information on the White Helmets. It is important to know the symptoms so if a crisis does arise in committee you will have a more concrete understanding of what exactly happened. Moreover, its crucial to know the extent that airstrikes bombing hospitals has on the civilians in Syria (this article also delves into that topic).
Excited to see you all for BMUN 66, keep researching! I recommend getting notifications on your phone for specific topics so you can keep up to date before the conference. BBC is a great neutral resource for international news.
