9 Palestinians Die of Swine Flu (H1N1)

Since the outbreak a few weeks ago within the Palestinian Authority, 190 arabs have been infected with swine flu also known as H1N1, and 9 have died so far.

In 2009, a 34 year Palestinian man contracted the H1N1 virus during his pilgrimage to Mecca and became the PA's first swine flu fatality.
