Health authorities from WHO and UNICEF have reported a significant surge in measles cases across Europe, with numbers doubling compared to the previous year and reaching the highest levels seen in over 25 years. The rise in cases is attributed to a decline in vaccination rates following the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries like Romania and Italy are experiencing severe outbreaks driven by unvaccinated populations. Experts warn that the situation may worsen in the coming months, urging immediate attention to vaccination gaps to control the spread of this highly contagious disease.
