Deaths linked to measles and measles-like symptoms in Bangladesh reached 1,030 after eight children died in a single day, health authorities reported. The country had recorded 172,720 symptomatic cases and 20,124 confirmed infections, with Dhaka accounting for 482 deaths. The WHO said declining vaccination coverage has caused Bangladesh to lose historical herd immunity. Since April, the Health Ministry said a special program had immunized nearly 19.48 million children in addition to routine vaccinations.
