PM chairs meeting to follow up school meals poisoning crisis
Prime Minister Sherif Ismail
Cairo - Arab Today
Prime Minister Sherif Ismail chaired on Thursday a meeting of all the bodies concerned with offering school meals nationwide, the education minister said.
This comes after Tarek Shawki announced Wednesday that the provision of meals to students at schools nationwide would be suspended until the cause of the food poisoning of around 400 students in government-run schools in several governorates earlier is determined.
At a press conference on Thursday, Shawky said there are seven bodies in charge of offering school meals; namely the ministries of health, finance, social solidarity, agriculture, education and industry.
There are committees in the governorates to follow up the school meals process, he added.
In March, about 4,650 students suffered food poisoning, he said, noting that there are 10 million students eating school meals all over the country.
Assistant Health Minister Amr Qandil said samples from school meals are being tested.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
