An article from Narinjara :
" Sittwe: Over 1,000 chickens have been culled in Sittwe Township in Arakan State after a tough strain of H5N1 virus was detected at a poultry farm, officials and a witness report.
The latest infection was detected on 12 January at a poultry farm in Bumay Village Tract in Sittwe, the capital of Arakan State, after all the chickens died unexpectedly.
A witness said, "Many chickens from around ten poultry farms in Tae Chaung Village were culled on Monday. The culling was conducted by the health department. I'd guess over 1,000 chickens were killed by the authority."

Burma : Two Giri Victims Die During Election
An article from Narinjara :
" Kyauk Pru: Two people in the Cyclone Giri-affected area of Kyauk Pru Township died with diarrhea on 4 November just two days before the election in Burma.
The two deceased are from Sita Ra Village in Kan Ton Gyi Yin Village, 80 miles from Kyauk Pru, on Rambree Island, an area hit hard by Cyclone Giri.
Another 40 people in the village are suffering from diarrhea since the disease has begun spreading. A relief worker from Kyauk Pru said, "They received medical treatment as well as medicine from the authorities and an NGO soon after the cyclone.
But now the victims in the area have been neglected by the government and NGOs due to the recent election. Because of this neglect, two victims died from the disease."
In the area of Sita Ra Village in Kyauk Pru, 500 people are still living in temporary huts without and roofs or wells."
