At least 5,700 people worldwide have been killed by the A/H1N1 influenza, an increase of more than 700 in a week.
About four-thousand deaths occurred in the Americas, six-hundred in South-East Asia and four-hundred-and-60 occurred in the West Pacific.
The other three regions -- Europe, East Mediterranean and Africa -- reported 281, 111 and 75 deaths respectively.
The WHO, which declared the A/H1N1 flu as a pandemic in June, said the total number of lab confirmed cases worldwide is now over four-hundred-and-40 thousand.
However, this is significantly lower than the actual number of cases because many countries have stopped testing and reporting individual cases.
