At least four people died and many suffered breathing difficulties when a gas, believed to be chlorine, was dropped alongside bombs in Aleppo, according to ITV News.

Hospital workers said at least four people had died from gas poisoning and another 55 were injured when the chlorine and barrel bombs hit the Zubdiya neighborhood of the Syrian city on Wednesday.

Hamza Khatib, the manager of Al Quds hospital in Aleppo, told reporters the hospital had recorded four deaths from gas poisoning and 55 injuries. Seven people were still receiving hospital treatment.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a woman and her child were among the dead.
