Two young children are in critical condition at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem after contracting measles. An infant girl, too young to have received the measles vaccine, and a two-year-old boy who is unvaccinated, have both been connected to ECMO machines due to severe respiratory distress. Hospital officials report a significant rise in the number of seriously ill measles patients and are urging parents to vaccinate their children according to health guidelines. Doctors emphasize that measles is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease, especially for those who are unvaccinated or too young to be vaccinated.
