UN requests Western aid to combat bird flu
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In need of $80 million to carry out its measures to prevent the spread of avian flu, the UN has enlisted the help of media to make the necessity of these contributions known as a concern involving the state of public health.
The United Nations has called for wealthy countries to increase their contributions to help control the spread of bird flu in south-east Asia, warning a major gap in funding threatens to undermine efforts to halt the virulent H5N1 virus at its source.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation said on Monday it was $80m short of the $100m it needs over the next three years to fund programmes to stop the bird flu virus from spreading.
