Desperate residents and starving citizens continued their daily struggle to survive in Venezuela’s crumbling economy in recent weeks, with aid staffers and doctors seeing a massive “surge” in suicides across the impoverished country.
“A record surge of suicides in troubled Venezuela is wearing down doctors who work at the university hospital in the Andean state of Merida. People who have tried to kill themselves arrive at an uncertain rhythm that breeds dread in the professionals who receive them,” writes Bloomberg.
“We live between terror and impotence,” said one doctor. “We constantly think we can’t do what we should in the moment we’re able to, and we’re terrified that patients commit suicide and there’s nothing we can do for them.”
“It’s a cocktail, a multitude of factors that have all converged,” added another doctor; blaming the trend on a lack of psychiatric medicine, fears of starvation, separated families, and widespread poverty.
“There wasn’t anything left to sell, nothing, not even a piece of candy,” said the wife of a man who recently took his own life. “Everything was going wrong. He felt like a prisoner. I figure it forced him to make a decision.”
