Yemen Declares Emergency Over Measles Outbreak
Marib Governorate in eastern Yemen declares a state of health emergency due to the ongoing spread of measles, with more than 1,600 cases recorded since the beginning of the year, including 290 laboratory-confirmed cases and 12 deaths. Most of the infections are concentrated in 36 displacement camps, reflecting the significant challenges faced by the healthcare sector as a result of high population density, lack of funding, and limited medical resources. Authorities have called for enhanced vaccination campaigns, expanded epidemiological surveillance measures, and health awareness campaigns—especially in densely populated areas and refugee camps—to curb the spread of the disease and reduce fatalities.
