Nearly 150 cases of food poisoning were recorded at the primary school Zammit Malek, commune of Tamalous, in the wilaya of Skikda. According to what the generalist Arabic-language daily reports Ennahar, this incident took place after the students had lunch in the school canteen. Indeed, each student was entitled to a meal consisting of white beans and a dessert: a pot of yogurt.
As a result, the civil protection elements moved to the scene in order to transport the intoxicated students to the Tamalous hospital. Indeed, the schoolchildren received the necessary care. Moreover, the majority of them left the hospital except for three students who remained under medical supervision.
Sidi Bel Abbès: 28 students asphyxiated by carbon monoxide
Yesterday, nearly 28 cases of asphyxiation and fainting were recorded at the Ibn Badis primary school in Sidi Bel Abbès. Indeed, the students inhaled carbon monoxide from a heater. As a result, civil protection agents transported the asphyxiated students to the Hassani Abdelkader hospital. In this wake, it should be noted that no serious cases have been recorded. In fact, since the start of the winter season, cases of carbon monoxide asphyxiation have multiplied.
Moreover, even within schools. On their part, the responsible authorities have launched several awareness campaigns. However, these efforts came to nothing. As a result, the President of the Republic has ordered the free distribution of devices that can detect carbon monoxide leaks.
