Chapatis are a type of flatbread
A Kenyan student is being treated in a hospital after he was flogged for eating five chapatis instead of one allocated by the school.
Teachers have been accused of beating up the boy with a hosepipe but the school administration says it was his fellow students who did it.
The 13-year-old boy has black marks on his body, according to local media reports and videos shared widely.
His parents say the school did not inform them about the incident until a week later when the boy became seriously ill.
Doctors at a hospital in Kenya's coastal region say the boy has an acute kidney injury and his genitals were also injured.
Local education officials have closed the school for non-compliance of the ministry's registration and hygiene requirements.
