You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
In the shadows of Mount Ararat, a father in eastern Turkey 00:00:04
tries to recover from the death of his 16-year-old daughter, Fatma. 00:00:07
The father's name is Mehmet Emin Ozen, 00:00:10
and one year after Fatma died from the avian flu, 00:00:13
he is still dazed and refuses to believe the doctors 00:00:15
who say she died from handling an infected duck. 00:00:18
He says, her death came all of a sudden, 00:00:23
and I have no explanation how she became ill. 00:00:27
It was God's decision. 00:00:32
I thought, Fatma is my child that I love most, 00:00:35
but God has taken her away from me. 00:00:38
The only photos he owns of Fatma are from the newspapers, 00:00:43
taken a few days before she died. 00:00:46
His youngest son also contracted avian flu, 00:00:48
but survived after spending 17 days on a ventilator. 00:00:51
Because of Turkey's proximity to Asia, Europe and Africa, 00:00:57
migrating birds regularly travel through the country. 00:01:00
Infected birds are believed to have passed the virus 00:01:03
to domesticated flocks of birds, 00:01:06
mostly raised by poor communities. 00:01:08
Doctors note that all four children who died here last year 00:01:10
had been in close contact with home-raised ducks or chickens. 00:01:13
After the outbreak hit, millions of chickens and other birds 00:01:17
were slaughtered in affected countries. 00:01:20
In Turkey, UNICEF has been working closely with the government 00:01:22
to educate people, especially those who raise birds at home, 00:01:25
about proper hygiene and protection. 00:01:28
We took so many precautions, but the most important part 00:01:31
is developing the communication materials. 00:01:34
Developing television spots, posters, flyers, 00:01:37
and disseminating them by using different mediums, 00:01:42
like schools, like media, 00:01:47
collaboration with Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, 00:01:49
by using any possible channel. 00:01:53
Other measures have been taken as well. 00:01:56
The Turkish government is setting up a lab in eastern Turkey 00:01:58
to quickly diagnose any new cases in the region. 00:02:01
The government is also trying to limit the exposure 00:02:05
of domesticated birds to wild birds, 00:02:08
as seen in this large poultry farm 00:02:10
that is hermetically sealed to the outside world. 00:02:12
But serious threats remain. 00:02:14
New human cases of avian flu in Asia have already appeared in 2007, 00:02:16
and health experts warn that if the virus mutates into a human strain, 00:02:21
it could trigger a global pandemic that could kill millions. 00:02:25
This is Thomas Naiba reporting for UNICEF Television in Ari, Turkey. 00:02:29
