A third child died from suspected bird flu in eastern Turkey today, and up to 30 other people have been treated in hospital after showing signs of the disease.
Hulya Kocyigit, 11, died in a hospital in Van a day after her 15-year-old sister, Fatma, had succumbed to the virus, hospital officials said. The girls' brother, 14-year-old Mehmet Ali, died on Sunday.
The condition of a fourth ill child from the same family had improved and he was no longer attached to a respirator, Huseyin Avni Sahin, the head physician at the hospital, said. However, three people remained in a serious condition.
