Update:
Neth Sary, a district chief of Stoung district, has said there are no fatalities among the children, and the condition of 26 of the 48 pupils is much improved. The cause of the poisoning is reported to be food sold at the school.

Kampong Thom students fall sick
November 7, 2018
Nget Narin, director of the provincial information department, said that on Monday 48 students got food poisoning after consuming food sold at the school’s canteen and were sent to the provincial hospital.

She noted that most of the students have been discharged from hospital, while some are still being treated.
“Some of them are better and left the hospital to rest at home,” she said.

Chhun Chhat, Pong Ro commune chief, said five students have yet to be discharged from hospital due to diarrhoea.

“Local authorities came to check on them. The students said they ate rice, water and snacks,” Mr Chhat said. “Officials came to take samples of the food to find what caused the poisoning.”

"The students said they ate rice, water and snacks"

Can reheating rice cause food poisoning? Yes, you can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. It's not the reheating that causes the problem, but the way the rice has been stored before it's reheated.

Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. The spores can survive when rice is cooked. If rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questi ... poisoning/
