CBS News interviewed Syrian chemical weapons survivor Heba Sawan Thursday on CBS Evening News.
Sawan and her cousin survived a chemical attack in the city of Moadamiyeh. The young Syrian woman recounted the horrific aftermath of the sarin attack:
HEBA SEWAN: Crowded with people on the floor, people trying to help, mourning, shouting, people running back and forth, and it was like -- I can't describe it. It's horror. Their bodies start to make, like, something came out from their noses, from their ears. It's like blood was -- I don't know. And then we have to bury them all.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The fumes left her temporarily blind.
SEWAN: I couldn't see for a week, and I was like traumatized. I remember I wake up -- I sleep and wake up, sleep and wake up and ask how those people died.
BRENNAN: Heba's fiance was killed by a regime sniper on their wedding day. Her father was arrested by Assad's army over two years ago. Her 17-year-old brother remains trapped in Syria. What is it that the U.S. can do? What kind of help do you need?
SEWAN: We need justice.
BRENNAN: Heba wants the world to know that the suffering continues in her home town. She believes she survived that chemical attack in order to tell her story. And, Scott, he western-backed Syrian opposition paid her way here to the U.S. so that she can.
