At least 160 people have died from measles in Afghanistan over the past six months, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported.
   
According to the report, 36,618 people were infected with the disease during the current year, and 160 deaths have been registered, out of which 81.1 percent of suspected cases of measles were children below the age of five, and 45 percent of them were women.
   
Most of the cases have been recorded in eastern Afghanistan's Khost province, the report added.
   
Lack of awareness of measles, lack of access to health facilities, non-vaccination of children and migration of Afghans from one place to another are factors in the increase of the disease in some remote areas of Afghanistan, the report added.
