New York is battling its worst measles outbreak in decades as the highly contagious disease continues to engulf Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn and Rockland County.

Fifty-five of cases of the childhood virus have affected unvaccinated children in Borough Park, Bensonhurst, Midwood/Marine Park and Williamsburg since October, according to the city Department of Health.

The measles outbreak in Brooklyn began when an unvaccinated child was infected on a trip to Israel, which also is seeing a large spread of the disease.
