Over 100 Venezuelan children suffer food poisoning
More than 100 children were poisoned after eating bad food at a breakfast at the Las Augilas VI Bolivarian Integrated Education Center, in Los Guayos in the Venezuelan sate of Carabobo.

The children reported stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea around mid-day on Tuesday, and some of them even fainted, Venezuelan newspaper El Universal reported on Thursday.

Local police rushed the children to local medical centers -- 28children to Las Aguitas medical center, some to the Los Guayos Integral Diagnostic Center, and those in critical conditions to the Dr Enrique Tejera Hospital in Valencia and the Carabobo Hospital in the city of Naguangua.

Samples collected by health authorities showed that the poisoning was caused by the breakfast the children had eaten. Local authorities have suspended teaching at the school.

The incident is the second in recent days. On Monday, 40 children suffered food poisoning in the west Venezuelan state of Aragua, where food from the School Food Program was found to be contaminated.
