Measles is spreading in Bangladesh - with over 190,000 suspected cases reported since March 2026. When one-year-old Ayatullah suddenly started showing signs of illness, his father Abdul Razzak brought him to a hospital. That’s when he was diagnosed with measles. “Let’s be ready to get the measles vaccine, because even a small moment of negligence or distraction could lead to serious suffering later,” says Abdul Razzak. To protect children’s health and help curb the ongoing outbreak, UNICEF is procuring vaccines and supporting emergency catch-up programmes.
