An outbreak of measles has killed more than 1,200 people on the island of Madagascar.

The country is facing its largest measles outbreak in history, with the number of recorded cases growing beyond 115,000.

Measles cases are rising in the US and elsewhere, with New York City battling an outbreak by ordering mandatory vaccinations in one Brooklyn neighbourhood.

But unlike in other parts of the world where misguided concerns about vaccinating children have led to a rise in cases, Madagascar's outbreak stems in part from a lack of resources.
