Bad smell panic in two schools in Kahramanmaraş: 20 students were hospitalized

In Kahramanmaraş's Onikişubat district, 20 students studying at two secondary schools who were affected by the bad smell emitted from the construction site were hospitalized.

Some students studying at Zekeriya Tanrıverdi Imam Hatip Secondary School and Şehit Ahmet Gülbahar Secondary School fell ill due to the bad smell emitted from the construction site next to the schools.

School administrations evacuated the students from the buildings and reported the situation to the 112 Emergency Call Center. Upon notice, health, police, specially equipped fire brigade, police, AFAD and natural gas distribution company teams were dispatched to the region.

20 STUDENTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL

20 students who had difficulty breathing and coughing were taken to hospitals in the city as a precaution after first aid.

Following the inspections of the relevant institutions in the region, the teams of the Provincial Directorate of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change seized a barrel that was considered to be the source of the odor and stopped the construction work.

Education in both schools was suspended today for precautionary purposes.
