Cases of measles have been on the rise since the start of the year in the three health districts of Mirriah (Zinder region), Abala and Balleyara (Tillabéri region). In the first two months of 2021 alone, 1,221 suspected measles cases have been registered nationwide, compared to 2,798 cases recorded in 2020. This represents almost half of the 2020 caseload (44%). According to local authorities in the Tillabéri region, some 80% of the infections are among children below four years; almost half of whom are in the Abala health district. These cases include children who had not been vaccinated and those suffering from malnutrition. Regional health authorities and their partners are providing emergency medical care to those affected.
