In the New York Times:

Thousands of sick and dying Syrians had flooded the hospitals in the Damascus suburbs before dawn, hours after the first rockets landed, their bodies convulsing and mouths foaming. Their vision was blurry and many could not breathe.

Overwhelmed doctors worked frantically, jabbing their patients with injections of their only antidote, atropine, hoping to beat back the assault on the nervous system waged by suspected chemical agents. In just a few hours, as the patients poured in, the atropine ran out.

To avoid contamination, medics stripped new arrivals down to their underwear and doused them with water before taking them inside.

New patients kept coming.

I started reading this story because I wanted to know more about what's happened in Syria, but as I kept reading it I kept thinking: This is exactly the kind of reporting that requires a subscriber base. Expensive, dangerous, essential. You simply can't finance this kind of work with clicks. Read the whole thing, and if you don't already, perhaps consider paying for the privilege. I do.
