Iraq takes action to reduce suicide rate in the country
Iraq's Interior Ministry wants to build fences around bridges to prevent suicide attempts.
The Iraqi Interior Ministry wants to build fences around the bridges of the capital city of Baghdad in order to reduce the increasing number of suicide attempts. The ministry submitted a proposal in this regard on April 15 with the support of Baghdad Provincial Council president Riyad al-Adadh, who described the project as “a viable and feasible idea.”
The proposal recognizes the increasing suicide rate in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities at a time when the news of suicide makes headlines on an almost daily basis.
