Myanmar health officials have confirmed that a measles outbreak is behind the deaths of more than 30 people, mostly children, in a remote part of the country as authorities rush to treat victims. The outbreak has struck the far corner of Myanmar's northern Sagaing region, a remote and mountainous area which borders eastern India and is populated by people from the Naga tribes. Local Naga representatives had previously accused the central government of being slow to act. The region is impoverished and very remote, a mountainous border area where roads and electricity are scant. Out six days to reach the villages. Communication there is also difficult," Than Tun Aung said.
