A severe measles outbreak has claimed around 150 children’s lives in just one month in Bangladesh.
The rising deaths have left families devastated and experts calling it a national health emergency.
Parents are grieving as hospitals struggle to cope with the surge in infections.
In one heartbreaking case, a father in Shariatpur lost one of his twin daughters to measles, while the other remains critically ill in intensive care.
Health experts say the situation exposes serious gaps in the country’s healthcare system.
Bangladesh had aimed to eliminate measles by 2026, but rising infections and deaths in recent months now point to a worsening outbreak.
Specialists are urging an independent investigation to determine the exact causes and prevent further loss of life.
