#  Two dead, over 100 hospitalized

 Written on 01 August 2025.

At least two people have died and some 105 others have been hospitalized with food poisoning in Cameroon's commercial hub of Douala, authorities said. The state-run Laquintinie Hospital, where the involved people were hospitalized, said in a statement that the victims included 99 children and six adults.

Most of the poisoned patients were fine after receiving treatment, but six others were still in critical condition, the hospital said. The victims who were at an event at the New Bell neighborhood of the city consumed a biscuit suspected to be contaminated.
