Last update: 4 hours ago

Measles Emergency: Bangladesh’s measles crisis worsened fast—confirmed and suspected deaths have crossed 500, with 13 more children dying in the last 24 hours and total deaths reaching 512; health officials also reported 62,507 suspected cases and 8,494 confirmed infections since March 15, as hospitals struggle with overcrowding. Health Response: The Eid leave of doctors and nurses treating measles patients and emergency services has been cancelled, while the government moves to keep Vitamin A supplies steady via a plan to procure capsules through UNICEF. Vaccination & Care: Authorities say emergency measles-rubella vaccination campaigns are expanding, but the full impact may take months. Civic Pressure: Dhaka’s DSCC administrator urged shared responsibility to cut dengue risk, saying mosquito reduction could reach 65% with aggressive waterlogging control. Eid Preparations: At cattle markets, 87 veterinary interns joined free Qurbani animal treatment drives, and officials urged buyers to choose legal, healthy animals. Safety & Crime: Police arrested a man in Dhaka’s Kalabagan over alleged rape of an 8-year-old, as UNICEF warned violence against children and women is rising. Public Health Watch: Dhaka’s air quality hit an AQI of 102, flagged as unhealthy for sensitive groups. Viral Eid Story: The rare “Donald Trump” albino buffalo from Narayanganj is set to be sacrificed this Eid al-Adha after going viral for its blond look.
