A second child has died from measles in Texas, US, as the outbreak continues to spread. The eight-year-old girl, who was not vaccinated, died from complications early Thursday. Texas has reported over 480 measles cases this year, with infections spreading to nearby states. US Health officials warn that nearly all cases are in unvaccinated people. "This tragedy highlights the need for vaccination," said Aaron Davis of UMC Health System. Measles can cause serious complications, including pneumonia and brain swelling. Experts urge parents to vaccinate children to prevent further deaths and stop the outbreak from growing. (PC: Getty Images)
