The family of the two babies that died from measles in Samoa is holding a joint funeral today.
One year old Lologa Samuelu died in Motootua National Hospital’s Intensive Care last week and two days later his six-month-old cousin Isaako Junior died at the same hospital.
Videos were posted on social media showing their distraught family members grieving while carrying them in the hospital.
Their distraught parents spent time with the boys who lay in the family house in Vaitele just before the funeral service.
The infants will be buried together beside the family home.
