(5) children were infected with “food poisoning” inside their home in Marka, the capital, Amman, after they ate spoiled household foods that were left outside the refrigeration equipment, thinking that the cold weather preserved the food.

The representative of the media and preventive education department told Public Security Radio on Monday that the civil defense staff rescued 5 children who ate spoiled food and showed symptoms of abdominal pain and vomiting. They were taken to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment.

And he indicated that the civil defense teams dealt over the past 24 hours with 1,332 different emergency cases, including 42 rescue cases and 89 firefighting cases.
