Average Of 12 Suicide Per Month In Kuwait
According to official statistics, an average of 12 suicide cases is reported in Kuwait in a month. In the year 2021, till date, 120 cases of suicide were reported in Kuwait, Al-Qabas daily quoting sources said. Last year, the total number of suicide registered in the country was only 90.
The majority of suicide cases are reported among the members of Asian communities, and the number of suicides has increased since the emergence of the Corona pandemic.
The report also added that the security team has succeeded in preventing dozens of Asians from committing suicide since the beginning of "Corona".
The report indicated that the high rates of suicide began with the spread of the Coronavirus.
