Description
Ayman and Ibrahim are among the 250 people who were wounded when toxic chlorine gas escaped on the dockside in the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba. "All of a sudden, the sky was filled with yellow dust," recounts Ayman, from his hospital bed. Ibrahim says he evacuated the area but was still affected by the "poisonous gases," adding that some people with a predisposition to respiratory problems even "fainted". Thirteen people were killed in the incident, including at least four Asian migrants. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
