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.
