"Why is nothing happening, although you've proved that Assad attacked us with toxic gas?", Yussuf asks us via voicemail. We're also left wondering: Why is nobody doing anything? Why is the West just watching – and then turning away again? In Episode 3, in search of answers to these questions, we visit, among other places, the Spiez Laboratory in Switzerland, where samples from the 2013 poison gas attacks on Ghouta were examined. And we research the links between German companies and Syrian toxic gas. Why the international community does nothing. What other option is there but to flee. Yussuf's cousin Turki fled, to Germany. How are he and his wife experiencing the war from a distance? The fate of Yussuf's family is also our responsibility: Don't forget us! Because words alone aren't enough, we consider how else we can help.

Yussuf often plays football after school. There used to be more kids on the field, but since April 4th, several are missing. They're dead. But even more children might have died if it hadn't been for those who risked their lives for others on April 4th. Abboud is one of them. He lives near Yussuf. He's woken up by the explosion, which occurs in the early morning. Seeing the many injured lying on the street, he does all he can to carry them to one of the few available ambulances. He's particularly worried about five-year-old Warda. After all, even if she makes it to the hospital alive, she's still not safe. Four hours after the toxic gas attack, Assad's regime drops more bombs on the town. This time, on the only hospital in Khan Shaykhun. Will Warda survive?
