Belize has recorded 19 measles cases so far this year, per Jamaica Gleaner. Health officials are urging residents to get vaccinated as the outbreak continues to spread across the country.

A 19-year-old woman was injured after gunmen opened fire on her apartment door in Belmopan, according to Breaking Belize News. The shooting is reportedly connected to a paralyzed street figure named Ronlee Petillo.

Belize's government issued a statement following the resignation of Ambassador Alexis Rosado, as reported by Caribbean Today. The resignation comes amid ongoing political tensions within the country's diplomatic corps.
