Over 1,000 Indonesian children in West Java fell ill from school lunches this week due to food poisoning. The mass poisoning occurred in four areas of West Java, following a similar incident last week affecting 800 students. This raises concerns about the safety and oversight of President Prabowo's free meals program. The program, aiming to feed 83 million people, has seen over 6,400 children poisoned since January. Kitchens have been suspended, and a health emergency declared in West Bandung.
