Bird flu discovered in Gaza Strip

Initial tests on dead chickens suggest the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has spread to the Gaza Strip, Israeli and Palestinian officials have said. The tests were conducted after some 200 chickens died in the southern town of Rafah, on the border with Egypt. Israel has been culling hundreds of thousands of birds after an H5N1 outbreak was confirmed on farms next to the Gaza Strip last week. Egypt on Tuesday reported its fourth suspected case of bird flu in humans.
