SANAA, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Yemeni public health authorities said in a statement that eight Yemenis died from the H1N1 flu in Sanaa in the past weeks, a local media outlet reported Monday.

The suspected H1N1 flu cases have reached 1,600 in several northern provinces since November, the Houthi-controlled Althawranews website quoted the statement as saying.

The rise in suspected cases was attributed to the low temperatures, it added.

Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014 after the Houthi rebels overran the capital Sanaa and much of the country's north.

The conflict has destroyed the country's health system and triggered repeated deadly epidemics.

More than 1,600 H1N1 cases in Sana'a

The number of H1N1 swine flu cases increased in the city of Sana'a, which is under the control of the Houthi group, during the month of December.

The Minister of Health in the government of the Houthi group (unrecognized) said in press statements reported by the Houthi media that there were 1,600 cases of influenza suspected, including 48 deaths, including only 8 confirmed cases of H1N1 flu, figures that lie to doctors who follow the epidemic.

And identical sources confirm that the number of H1N1 swine flu deaths in Sanaa is much more than what the Houthi group announced, stressing that there is a spread of the disease in Sana'a in light of a clear deficiency by the Houthi health authorities to confront the disease.
