Bangladesh hit by severe measles surge
Bangladesh is facing its worst measles outbreak in history, with more than 999 suspected and confirmed deaths recorded since March 2026. This surge is due to the decline in the national vaccination campaign and the disruption of routine immunization programs during 2024 and 2025, caused by political unrest. The outbreak occurred despite an emergency vaccination campaign launched in April 2026, which is attributed to delays in vaccination, a weakened healthcare system, and an increase in sick children due to resource shortages.
