伊拉克政府為了避免禽流感疫情的爆發,而撲殺了該國內東北部上萬隻的雞隻。這項防堵措施是因應在其蘇拉曼尼亞省的拉尼亞區,一位14歲女孩染病死亡。伊國衛生部官員在上月30日證實其為感染了禽流感H5N1的病毒,使得數月來對於這個致命病毒入侵庫德地區的憂慮得到了驗證。

The Iraqi government is killing hundreds of thousands of chickens in northeastern Iraq in an attempt to avert a widespread outbreak of bird flu in the region. The measures are being taken following the death of a 14 year old girl in Rania, a district in Sulaimaniyah province. Health officials announced on January 30 that the girl died of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, confirming months-long fears that the deadly virus had reached Iraqi Kurdistan.
