Bangladesh is grappling with a devastating measles outbreak that has tragically claimed the lives of over 500 children, with government data on May 23, 2026, marking it as the deadliest surge in decades. This crisis highlights critical immunity gaps, exacerbated by declining vaccination rates, malnutrition, and political instability. The international community, led by organizations like UNICEF and WHO, is mobilizing emergency vaccination campaigns and support, yet the sheer scale of the challenge demands a deeper understanding and sustained global commitment.
