PostNuke UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has called on the international community to act quickly and decisively against a potential bird flu pandemic.
In a taped address to experts at a two-day donors conference in Beijing, Annan said there was no time to waste in order to prevent a potential global catastrophe. The UN and the World Bank say around 1.5 billion dollars are needed to tackle the threat. The European Union has pledged nearly $250 million. EU Health Commissioner Markos Kyprianou said some of that will be earmarked for Africa, which many experts think could be the next continent to be hit by bird flu. Nearly 150 people are known to have been infected by the virus in six countries, mostly in south-east Asia, and at least 79 people have died of the disease since 2003.
