A school in western Kenya has been closed indefinitely after two students died of what is suspected to be a case of suspected food and water poisoning.
Public health officials on Monday shut down Mukumu Girls High School, in Kakamega county, after over 100 students were last week hospitalised with abdominal pains and diarrhoea.
Initial findings indicated the learners may have suffered food or water poisoning. Samples were collected and sent to the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) for analysis, local media reported.
Parents flocked to the school to collect their children after learning of the death of the two students.
