Doctors at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem on Thursday confirmed the death of an 18-month-old boy who contracted measles last month and was not vaccinated, marking the third toddler to die of the disease in less than a week. His death raised the total toll from the outbreak to five.

Over the holiday, a 1-year-old girl died from measles complications after two months in intensive care, where she was placed on an ECMO heart-lung machine. Last weekend, another 16-month-old boy from Jerusalem also died of the illness. An 11-month-old baby remains in intensive care on a ventilator.
