One devastated dad, Abdallah Sultan, said his five-year-old daughter's legs, arms and neck have been disfigured with ghastly burns after an Islamic state missile landed in a neighbour's garden.

Seconds after a toxic gas filled the air and little Doaa was struck down.

Now a month afterwards there is still a strong burning smell.

Plants in a small vegetable patch have died.

Abdallah, 33, said: "We don't know what the substance in the warhead was.

“All we know is that it made Doaa break out in blisters all over her body, and she's not got better.”

The little girl was just one of many victims in what is thought to have been the fourth chemical weapons attack launched by Islamic State during September and October against civilians in the town of Qayyara in northern Iraq.

As reported, the United Nations says ISIS is stockpiling ammonia and sulphur in civilian areas and fears it intends to carry out more chemical attacks as Iraqi forces as they are pushed out of their stronghold of Mosul.
