| While deaths from war, terrorism and homicide crowd the headlines, suicide outstrips them all at more than a million deaths a year, but gets scant attention, an expert has warned.
The president of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), Brian Mishara, said today that with global suicide rates on a steady rise in recent decades, societies must commit more resources to help bring the numbers down.
"There are more than one million people who die by suicide each year in the world, which is more people than those who die from war, terrorist attacks and homicides every year," Mishara told AFP.
"So more people kill themselves than are killed by other people."

| In the vast majority of cases, all this is brought about, courtesy of governments... they have made hell on earth! Evil filth that they are! Need to be exterminated wholesale, forthwith! |
