Four people have died after contracting avian influenza H5N1 in Libya over the last few days. It seems strange as no avian influenza cases were reported lately in poultry in Libya. A fifth person is also suspected to have contracted the disease and is currently being treated at a hospital in the eastern city of Tobruk. Three of the victims died in the country’s capital city Tripoli, and the fourth in Tobruk.
