A measles outbreak in Bangladesh has killed more than 100 children, prompting urgent health warnings and an emergency vaccination response.
Health officials confirmed that over 100 child deaths have been recorded in recent weeks, with hundreds more cases reported across affected regions. The outbreak has raised serious concerns about gaps in immunization coverage and the rapid spread of the disease among vulnerable populations.
Authorities have launched a nationwide vaccination campaign in an effort to contain the outbreak. According to health officials, the majority of those affected were unvaccinated or had limited access to healthcare services.
International health organizations have also expressed concern over the scale of the outbreak, warning that further spread could occur if containment measures are not strengthened. Officials are urging parents to ensure children receive vaccinations, as efforts continue to bring the outbreak under control.
