JERUSALEM: The peak of the bird flu outbreak in Israel has probably passed, and there is no indication of harm to humans, said a joint statement issued Friday by the state's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Prime Minister's Office.

An encouraging recovery has been recorded in the last two days, the statement said.
