But recently, more than 100 students became ill in the north -east city of Macama after eating school lunch.
According to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), more than 100 students became ill in the north -east city of McCama after eating school food last week. It was reported that the school cook served about 500 children after removing her dead snake.
