Israel battles measles outbreak as infant dies of disease










Israel is grappling with one of its worst measles outbreak in decades, with over 1,200 cases reported since the beginning of 2018.

 

The media reported Thursday that an 18-month-old baby died of complications of the disease at a Jerusalem hospital, the country’s first death from measles since 2003. The child was not vaccinated.

 

The outbreak comes as the World Health Organization has reported tens of thousands of measles cases across Europe.
