Measles outbreak killed 30 in Myanmar
 

YANGON: Myanmar health officials have confirmed that a measles outbreak is behind the deaths of more than 30 people, mostly children, in a remote part of the country as authorities rush to treat victims.

The outbreak has struck the far corner of Myanmar’s **rthern Sagaing region, a remote and mountai**us area which borders eastern India and is populated by people from the Naga tribes.

The deaths began in June and highlight how vulnerable Myanmar’s more isolated populations are in a country where healthcare was never prioritised under decades of brutal and inept junta rule.
