Indonesia asks for world's help against bird flu
Indonesia’s president begged the international community today to help fight the bird flu virus that has killed 30 people in his sprawling nation – with five new deaths and one infection confirmed this week alone.
Indonesia needed “full financial and technical support” if the country was going to effectively stamp out the disease, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told a gathering of United Nations officials, donors and development partners in the capital Jakarta.
