أُصيبَ ما لا يَقِلُّ عَنْ ٥١٢َ طالِبًا بِأَعْراضٍ مَرَضِيَّةٍ بَعْدَ تَناوُلِ وَجْبَةٍ مِنْ بَرْنامَجِ الْوَجَباتِ الْمَجّانِيَّةِ فِي مَعْهَدِ مَنْبَعِ الْحِكْمَةِ بِتانْغُولانْغِينْ، فِي مِنْطَقَةِ سيدُوارْجُو بِجاوَةَ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ فِي إِنْدونيسيا. وَوَقَعَتِ الْحادِثَةُ يَوْمَ الأَوَّلِ مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ. وَيُقَدِّمُ الْبَرْنامَجُ وَجَباتٍ مَدْرَسِيَّةً لِلطُّلّابِ.

وَحَسَبَ بَياناتِ الْوِكالَةِ الْوَطَنِيَّةِ لِلتَّغْذِيَةِ فِي الثّانِي مِنْ سِبْتَمْبَرَ، كانَ ثَمانُونَ طالِبًا لا يَزالُونَ فِي الْمُسْتَشْفَياتِ. وَسَمَحَ الأَطِبّاءُ لِـ٣١٢َ طالِبًا بِالْعَوْدَةِ إِلى بُيوتِهِمْ بَعْدَ تَحَسُّنِ حالَتِهِمْ، بَيْنَما ظَلَّ ١٢٠َ طالِبًا تَحْتَ الْمُراقَبَةِ. وَقالَتِ الْوِكالَةُ إِنَّ سَلامَةَ الطُّلّابِ وَرِعايَتَهُمْ هِيَ أَوْلَوِيَّتُها الْآنَ.

وَعَلَّقَتِ الْوِكالَةُ عَمَلَ الْمَطْبَخِ الَّذي زَوَّدَ الْمَعْهَدَ بِالطَّعامِ لِثَلاثينَ يَوْمًا، وَاقْتَرَحَتْ تَغْييرَ مَسْؤولِهِ. وَتُجْرى الآنَ تَحْقيقاتٌ مَعَ دائِرَةِ الصِّحَّةِ، وَتَشْمَلُ فُحوصًا مَخْبَرِيَّةً لِلْوُصُولِ إِلى سَبَبِ الْحادِثَةِ. وَلَمْ يُؤَكَّدْ سَبَبُ الْمَرَضِ بَعْدُ، لِذٰلِكَ لا يَزالُ ارْتِباطُهُ بِالْوَجْبَةِ قَيْدَ التَّحْقيقِ.

512 Students Fall Ill After School Meal in Indonesia

At least 512 students developed symptoms of illness after eating a meal from the free-meals programme at Manbaul Hikam school in Tanggulangin, in the Sidoarjo area of East Java, Indonesia. The incident happened on September 1. The programme provides school meals to students.

According to data from the National Nutrition Agency on September 2, 80 students were still in hospital. Doctors allowed 312 students to return home after their condition improved, while 120 students remained under observation. The agency said that students’ safety and care are now its priority.

The agency suspended the kitchen that supplied the school’s food for 30 days and proposed replacing its manager. Investigations are now being carried out with the health department, including laboratory tests to find the cause of the incident. The cause of the illness has not yet been confirmed, so its link to the meal remains under investigation.
