Beijing - A nine-year-old girl has died from bird flu in China's eastern province of Zhejiang, bringing the country's death toll from the disease to 10, Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday.

The girl, surnamed You, died on Monday night "after all rescue efforts failed", Xinhua said, quoting the information office of the Ministry of Health.

A 32-year-old man died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu last Thursday in the southern province of Guangdong, near Hong Kong. He was believed to have contracted the virus at a live poultry market.
