Bangladesh Measles Crisis Claims Thousands | Bangladesh News

Bangladesh is reeling from a catastrophic measles outbreak that has killed over 1,000 children and infected nearly 187,000 since March — the worst in the country’s history. With no cure once contracted, measles is preventable only through vaccines, but gaps in coverage — caused by political unrest and supply chain disruptions years ago — left millions unprotected.
