Over 30 students from Chouaib Doukkali University (UCD) in El Jadida were hospitalized at the Mohamed V Hospital for food poisoning.
According to a member of the college students’ organization, the poisoning was due to a contaminated dinner meal the students had. They had to wait a long time for an ambulance to take them to the nearby hospital, which is only a few kilometers away.
The situation worsened by the fact that there was only one doctor to tend to dozens of students, he added in a blog.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances and causes of this incident.
