Two Syrians died of H1N1 swine flu last month and six others were suspected of carrying the infection, Syria's state news agency SANA said on Monday. The World Health Organization has warned that the collapse of Syria's health system during its four-year civil war has led to the spread of disease. Their deaths were reported by the head of Communicable and Chronic Diseases Department in Sweida, it said. More than 220,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict, which began in March 2011 with popular protests against President Bashar al-Assad and spiraled into civil war after a crackdown by his security forces. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
