Pakistan has measles surge as health workers are murdered

A Pakistan charity organization, Support With Working Solution, has suspended its operations in Pakistan after seven members of its staff, six women and one man, were ambushed and shot dead on Tuesday after leaving a local community center. Taliban and other al-Qaeda-linked militant terrorist groups have been critical of the activities of such organizations because they provide education for girls, and because they provide polio and measles immunization vaccinations, which the Taliban claims is a secret plot to sterilize Muslims and prevent more Muslim children. This comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) is reporting that Pakistan had a record high number of measles cases in 2012, and a record number of deaths from measles. Most of the children who died from measles were from the districts affected by the massive floods of the last three years. Pakistan Tribune and Daily Times (Pakistan)
