Dr Adel Al-Moayad, the director of Hajja PHO, said that he accompanied a medical team to Bani Jamal village after receiving a notification saying that seven people had died from measles, but then they discovered that it wasn't measles but dengue fever.

"Dengue fever was widespread in Hajja four months ago but the residents didn't convey that to the PHO,? he said. ?We came to know about it this week. Therefore, we sent a medical team to the area to give people the needed vaccination to combat dengue fever," he added.
