Bangladesh Sees Surge in Suicides, 40 Daily Deaths

In Bangladesh, there has been a big increase in the number of people taking their own lives.

On average, 40 people die by suicide every day.

This is according to data shared by the police.

The most common ways people are taking their own lives are by hanging, poisoning, or jumping in front of trains.

The district of Jashore has the highest number of suicides.

Experts say that to stop this, many different groups need to work together, not just the health department.

They also say that the actual numbers might be even higher than what the World Health Organization has reported.
