The medical charity, MSF, has sounded the alarm regarding measles outbreaks in South Sudan and Yemen.

These outbreaks have resulted in fatalities and numerous cases, particularly among children under the age of five in South Sudan’s Western Equatoria state.

MSF also reported a significant influx of measles patients at its hospital unit in Taiz Houban, Yemen, underscoring challenges related to low vaccination rates and limited access to primary healthcare services.
