Health: 368 small children poisioned in Ukraine

In Ukraine, 368 children aged between two to six have been registered as being poisoned and taken to hospitals in the town of Neteshin.

All the victims have acute intestinal infection, probably dysentery. Six children are in a grave condition, 244 in an average condition. It appears the cause of the mass poisoning was poor kefir (liquid variation of yoghurt) the children had drunk in the kindergartens.

Once again, it's the children.
