Additional Information / Shotlist Since the start of 2020, MSF has seen a 40 per cent jump in measles cases treated in its facilities in the refugee camps. In January alone, around 120 patients were admitted to MSF isolation wards, with more than 900 people treated as outpatients.

A highly contagious airborne virus, measles is particularly dangerous for children, putting them at risk for severe pneumonia, encephalitis and death. Over 80 per cent of MSF’s current measles patients are under the age of five. Thirteen have died from measles in MSF clinics since the outbreak started (valid until mid-February).
