Israel Sending Team to Samoa to Help Battle Measles Outbreak
“Israel is sending an emergency medical team in coordination with the WHO to Samoa in response to the Samoan measles outbreak,” Israeli Ambassador Itzhak Gerberg tweeted Thursday. At least 63 people, mostly children, have died since the outbreak began in mid-October. Government and aid workers have spread out across the nation of 200,000 people to vaccinate as many as possible. (Times of Israel)
