Yemen's Mentally Ill Are Chained, Tranquilized & Abandoned

Yemen has been at war for more than six years. The healthcare system has been decimated, famine looms, and millions are struggling to cope. But few observers have paid attention to the country's escalating mental health crisis that is accompanying this humanitarian catastrophe. VICE News gains exclusive access inside the few psychiatric hospitals still operating in Yemen today, finding patients both physically and chemically restrained. Such dire conditions reflect the severe lack of resources for Yemeni people, who the world seems to have turned their backs on.
