Alarming rise of measles in Yemen requires urgent and comprehensive response


Over the past three years, there has been a substantial increase in the number of children admitted to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) hospitals in Yemen for measles. In the first half of 2023, the number of measles patients received in MSF-supported facilities has nearly tripled, at almost 4,000, compared to the whole of 2022.
