Since the outbreak in 2003, bird flu has landed in about forty six countries. In Vietnam, forty four million birds have been lost to the virus - about twenty per cent of its poultry stock. Vietnam has also seen the highest number of outbreaks of bird flu in the human population - ninety three cases. Forty seven of those people died. In this report we witness first hand the effects of bird flu, and the efforts of the international community to prevent the spread of human cases. Because of the global threat of bird flu, international cooperation has been forthcoming on an unprecedented scale. Working with the Chinese, the European Commission set up the Beijing conference last December to coordinate political and financial aid on bird flu. The EU is giving 30 million Euro to help the fight against bird flu in Asia. This video report looks at the work that that financial aid allows. The fact that large scale international and regional aid could be made available so quickly proved that countries recognised the potential threat to economies and public health. The international community and major donors know that effective containment of the disease at the source of outbreak, helps ensure that the virus doesn't spread. The report contains interviews with: GUAN CHENGYUAN, Chinese Ambassador to the EU, BUI BA BONG, Vietnamese Deputy Minister For Agriculture, VINCENT DE VISSCHER of the European Commissions Asia Directorate, and JEFFREY GILBERT, Senior A.I. Technical Advisor FAO as well as an interview with NGUYAN SY TUAN, one of the 93 Vietnamese victims of Bird Flu.
