Al-Monitor's Rasha Abou Jalal reports that since the beginning of 2013, the Gaza Strip has seen a increase in the number of reported suicide attempts. Presumable causes for these attempts, which are mostly by young Palestinians, are related to family problems, unemployment, educational problems, the lack of a
religious deterrent, or psychological illness.
Dr. Ayman al-Sahbani, head of the reception department at Shifa Hospital — the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip — reported that the hospital receives up to 30 patients who have attempted suicide per month.
