The general director of the Southern University Services Directorate, Zaker Rhouayi, confirmed that the calls and surveillance camera recordings are documented and are under the jurisdiction of the judicial authorities to determine the timing of medical intervention and emergency services.

Rhouayi acknowledged the structural shortage of medical staff in the dormitories due to the failure of nurse recruitment.

The public prosecutor's office of the Sfax Court of First Instance opened an investigation after the General Union of Tunisian Students called for a general strike to demand health units.
