In Thursday April 17, 2014 photo, Syrian refugee Abu Mohammed sits in a shop he has set up to sell women's accessories to boost his non-existent income at Zaatari refugee camp, near the Syrian border in Jordan. It was hard enough for Abu Mohammed to flee his hometown of Daraa in southern Syria because of the raging fighting. He now has to survive on basics in this sprawling refugee camp in Jordan, and pay rent to a fellow Syrian strongman for the use of a small plot of land to set up a shop.(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

In this image taken from video obtained from the Shaam News Network, posted on April 18, 2014, an anti-Bashar Assad activist group, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, two women and a young girl are treated by a medic in Kfar Zeita, a rebel-held village in Hama province some 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Damascus. Syrian opposition activists and other witnesses tell The Associated Press that Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent months. They say the attacks left scores of men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath. The reports have been denied by the Syrian government and have yet to be confirmed by any foreign country or international organization. But if true, they highlight the limitations of the global effort to rid Syria of its chemical weapons. (AP Photo/Shaam News Network)
