KRASNOYARSK, July 29 (RIA Novosti) - A total of 92 children have been hospitalized following an outbreak of food poisoning at a summer camp in Russia's Krasnoyarsk Territory, in East Siberia, Russia's consumers rights watchdog said on Tuesday.

Eleven children at the Salyut camp are seriously ill with a suspected stomach infection, while 62 others are in a 'moderately grave' condition, a spokesman for Rospotrebnadzor said.
