The Hadassah Medical Center reported that during the holiday, a one-year-old infant with measles who had been brought to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem in critical condition two months ago passed away. The announcement stated that the infant, who suffered from significant respiratory distress, was connected to an ECMO machine - a heart-lung device - upon hospitalization. For weeks, the medical team fought for her life, but the secondary illnesses she suffered as a result of measles led to multiple organ failure.
