More than 300 ill in Indonesia after eating free school lunches
Over 300 students fell ill in Indonesia after consuming free school lunches provided by a local charity organization. The incident took place at an elementary school in West Java on Tuesday, where students started experiencing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea shortly after eating the meals.
The school’s principal, Mr. Budi, expressed deep regret over the situation and mentioned that the charity organization has been supplying meals to the school for several years without any previous issues. The local health department has collected samples of the food served to the students for testing to determine the cause of the mass illness.
Meanwhile, the charity organization, Food for All, released a statement expressing concern for the students’ well-being and offering full cooperation with the authorities in their investigation. The organization has temporarily suspended its lunch program in all schools until the source of contamination is identified and resolved.
Authorities are urging the public not to jump to conclusions before the investigation is completed and to await official statements regarding the incident. The priority at the moment is ensuring the speedy recovery of the affected students and preventing similar incidents in the future.
