Reports from local media indicate that over 50 people suffered from food poisoning at a wedding in Iraq’s northern province of Kirkuk.
The poisoning was attributed to spoiled food that was served at the event.
The incident unfolded in the town of Hawija, located west of Kirkuk, which serves as the capital city of the province.
Ziyad Khalaf, the provincial health chief, stated that the affected individuals exhibited a range of symptoms, with some experiencing mild discomfort and others facing more severe health issues.
Fortunately, all the poisoned individuals received prompt medical attention at the hospital to address their conditions.
This incident follows closely on the heels of a tragic event where a devastating fire engulfed a wedding hall in a predominantly Christian town in Iraq’s northern province of Nineveh.
The fire resulted in the tragic loss of 114 lives and left more than 200 individuals injured.
