Manipur's relief camps face deepening mental health crisis amid displacement

Residents of relief camps in Manipur, where people displaced by violence are living, are struggling with serious mental health problems. An estimated one in eight people is thought to have a mental illness, and suicides are reportedly rising among displaced families. Poor sanitation and inadequate living conditions are adding to the trauma experienced by both children and adults. Many families have been broken apart by displacement, leaving people grieving significant losses. Community members describe a growing sense of hopelessness about the future.
