My Story, Five-year-old succumbs to bird flu

JAKARTA: Indonesia has raised the alert on bird flu following the confirmation of a second death due to H5N1 infection, involving a five-year-old girl from Sunter, North Jakarta.

The Jakarta administration had culled hundreds of fowl illegally kept in residential areas in a campaign to raise awareness of the virus.

The girl, who died on Jan 16, was believed to be the sister of the 23-year-old man who had died earlier this month as Indonesia's first bird flu victim for this year.
