A scout camp was evacuated overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday in Beauraing (province of Namur). Thirteen children from a unit from Roux, near Charleroi, are indeed suffering from poisoning, probably from drinking water, indicates RTL Info. ” 13 of them were evacuated, of which 5 were hospitalized. We sent 4 ambulances. There are 8 scouts left who have been evacuated to the Fedasil center in the commune of Pondrome”, indicates Lieutenant Liétart of the DINAPHI Relief Zone to our colleagues.
The mayor, Marc Lejeune, decided to close the camp as a precaution for at least 48 hours. The causes of this poisoning are not yet known, but the mayeur points the finger at the transport and storage of water in the camps, while ensuring that according to him it was well managed ” there were enough chiefs for the framing. It was just bad luck!”
