Almotamar.net, Saba - As the Swine Flu (H1N1)-infected cases increase quickly and almost daily, Public Health and Population Ministry has announced the H1N1 cases in Yemen have reach 199.
The number was announced after discovering seven new cases late on Friday. The death cases due to Swine Flu reached six.
Spokesman for the Supreme National Committee to Encounter the International Pandemic of Swine Flu Abdul-Hakim al-Kohlani said that one of the cases is an arrival from the holy places in Mecca after performing Umrah.
Another case was discovered for an Asian resident. The other five cases are for nationals due to contacts, al-Kohlani said, adding that all cases are under isolation and medication.
On infection of a number of Indian nationals working in one of hotels al-Kohlani pointed put that examination of samples regarding them is underway but the result has not appeared yet.
The first confirmed H1N1-infected case was announced in Yemen on June 16, 2009.
In 2007 the opposition Yemen Congregation for Reform (Islah) Islamic oriented Party maintained its having political and media sway over the Joint meeting Parties (JMP) block, also consisting of Yemen Socialist Party and the Nasserite Unionist Organisation.
Yemen is practically a cool green paradise, with crisp mountain air, enormous acacia trees, pristine coral reefs and verdant fields bursting with khat, a psychoactive plant that induces mild euphoria.
Sana'a: Yemen will not be able to combat terror without regional and international cooperation, said a Yemeni official, who warned of the ramifications of letting Yemen fight terrorism alone.
Doctors use the word “crisis” to describe the point at which a patient either starts to recover or dies. President George W. Bush’s Iraqi patient now seems to have reached that point. Most commentators appear to think that Bush’s latest prescription – a surge of 20,000 additional troops to suppress the militias in Baghdad – will, at best, merely postpone the inevitable death of his dream of a democratic Iraq. Yet as “Battle of Baghdad” begins, factors beyond Bush’s control and not of his making (at least not intentionally) may just save Iraq from its doom.
