Measles causes over 500 child deaths in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is facing its worst measles outbreak in decades, resulting in over 500 child deaths so far, with 13 deaths reported in the past 24 hours, bringing the total fatalities to 512. A shortage of ICU beds and an increasing number of cases have put immense pressure on hospitals. Despite a widespread vaccination campaign that has reached 18 million children so far, the full impact of the outbreak may not be evident for several months. The disease, which spreads easily through coughing and sneezing, poses a significant threat to children who are most vulnerable due to malnutrition and weakened immune systems.
