Earlier, Roya’s videographer documented a video of three children in downtown Amman inhaling gas from empty cans, apparently containing chemicals.

The video shows the three children in worn clothes with apparent bad personal hygiene walking around downtown and inhaling gas through the mouth so as not to attract attention.

Some residents wondered why children were away from the care of their families or the responsible authorities.

A citizen, who had been observing the children’s movements for a while and preferred not to reveal his identity, told Roya that the boys would begin to sway left and right, after spraying the gas into their mouths and then into their noses.
