The “poisoning” of 16 children at the Azra beach camp on the outskirts of Tetouan has raised a series of questions about the motives and causes that led to this incident, especially after the news was reported on many local and national platforms, in addition to a report circulating on public channels that the children had eaten fast food that caused the Dow poisoning.
However, in the course of interaction with the issue, the electronic newspaper Hespress found data that contradicted what was published, since more than one source directly connected to the camp and the children who spent their summer vacation there, “categorically denied that the children left the camp during the day on Friday or had a meal outside.”
Details of the incident date back to Friday midnight, when 16 children in the camp felt pain in their stomach and needed to be transferred to the Sania Ramel Hospital in Tetouan in the early hours of Saturday, after which the cases were discovered, only four of whom needed to stay in the hospital for a few hours to receive treatment before returning to the camp and resuming normal activities with the rest of the people.
Younis Hod, an activist from the association, said the poisoning reported by some platforms was “not true” and stressed that the children did not leave the camp throughout Friday when the incident was witnessed.
Hodder added when contacted by Hespress that some of the children had “colic and indigestion after dinner and we did not go out that day because we had an Olympic day in camp and that was clearly planned.”
He went on to explain that “16 children had colic, four of them are being treated, and we were surprised by the news released by official channels that the children had fast food, and he confirmed that the 280 children did not leave.” Until “yesterday, Sunday, we visited the city of Fenidik and then returned to the camp.”
The same source recorded that the local authorities sent a monitoring committee to take samples of the food eaten by the children in the camp in order to conduct the necessary analysis on them, stressing that they have not yet been informed of any results.
Abdel Wahid Megle Azeb, regional director of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communications in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, denied that any symptoms of poisoning were present in the cases transferred to the Sania Ramel hospital in Tetouan between Friday night and Saturday.
In a statement to Hespress, Azib said that the reported cases of poisoning “continue in a very normal way in the camp”, stressing that the cases mentioned did not show any of the known symptoms of poisoning, which are: acute diarrhea, because we have 280 people in the camp, 200 of them have these symptoms, in addition to high temperature, it also includes constant vomiting,” he stressed that none of these symptoms occurred.
District officials recorded that the data that was circulated “contains many inaccuracies,” considering the pain felt by the three girls was “normal and natural,” and that they were prescribed some medication, which we purchased for them, and they resumed their normal practice activities and have resumed their normal activities smoothly. “
Dr. Mohammed Khalfawi, director of Sania Ramel Hospital, denied that the hospital had received any serious poisoning cases, and said that of the 16 cases from the camp, four required more care and left after a few hours.
Halfawi, who was unable to make a decision on the issue and its main causes, confirmed to Hespress that the authorities sent a committee to study and investigate, considering that the problem could be caused by the hot weather and the fact that the food was left out in the sun for a while before consumption, stressing that it was proven that the space where children’s food was prepared met the necessary health conditions and standards.
It is noteworthy that the camp that witnessed this incident included children from different cities in Morocco: Beni Mellal, Bamohammed Village, Ain Atik and Saleh Rabat, and they are branches of one of the national associations active in the field of education and camping. .
