Bangladesh is struggling to contain a severe measles outbreak that has resulted in nearly 1,000 suspected and confirmed deaths. The crisis, described as the country's worst on record, has hospitalized thousands of children, including an eight-month-old infant receiving treatment in the capital of Dhaka.
The current outbreak marks a significant setback for Bangladesh, a nation that had previously come close to eliminating the disease. According to reports, the rapid spread of the illness is being fueled by existing vaccination gaps within the population.
