Except that's not true. The victims were in that area, and there isn't just mention of them, but images and video of them.
This was a single gas based weapon deployed in open air, not enclosed environments like the subway attack in Japan or the immense chemical attacks of WWI involving many tons of chemicals. For some comparison, despite the volume of chemical weapons used in WWI, only 90,000 people were actually killed by them, while millions were exposed. The world didn't step up to end the use of chemical weapons because of the horrors a single one can cause, likewise they aren't classed as weapons of mass destruction because of the volume of destruction they cause, but by its indiscriminate nature.
