TWENTY-NINE internally displaced persons (IDP) from the series of earthquakes in Mindanao were treated for food poisoning in North Cotabato after allegedly eating donated items, disaster authorities said on Tuesday.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), citing a report from the Department of Health’s Provincial Epidemiological Surveillance Unit, said the food items came from a sponsor group in Midsayap town.
