The bird flu has struck in Gaza, adding a new hardship for local farmers. The epidemic has spread in chicken farms, forcing farmers to kill their livestock. It is believed that the chickens began to show symptoms of the virus after the most recent heat wave, and that it spread to the chickens from a nearby duck farm that was infected. The attached video does not report on the most recent bird flu epidemic in Gaza, but touches on a similar incident in Egypt.
