16 years old Egyptian Samiha Abd El-Hafez Ahmed Sallem became the 23rd victim of the Avian Flu in Egypt. Last week on Monday Samiha in Asuit felt very sick and was transferred to the hospital. She died according to the Health ministry statement tonight on Monday the 15th of December 2008. She was given Tamflu but in vain. She got the virus from the domestic poultry.
It is worth to mention that the health minister from couple of months had announced that the Avian flu settled in Egypt !!
I just wish that Samiha may Allah bless her soul and give patience to her family and friends would be the last victim of the Avian flu in Egypt and also in the world.
