A measles outbreak has resulted in nearly 1,000 deaths. Thousands of children have been sickened by the outbreak, which is sweeping across a country. An eight-month-old girl is among those struggling with the illness, and is being treated in a hospital.

Her mother traveled a long distance to seek specialized care after doctors in another part of the country referred her to the hospital. The mother reported seeing other children with similar symptoms, including red rashes, sores, and fevers, while at a district hospital. The outbreak follows setbacks to the country's vaccine program.
