Description
Thousands have taken to the streets of Gabes, a city in southern Tunisia, demanding the closure of an aging chemical complex blamed for toxic gas leaks and a surge in respiratory illnesses. The protests intensified after more than 100 residents, including children, were hospitalized this week with gas poisoning. Local officials say the industrial units have long exceeded their safe operating lifespan. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
