"a significant causal association between #sanctions and increased #mortality. We found the strongest effects for #unilateral, #economic, and #US sanctions, whereas we found no statistical evidence of an effect for #UN sanctions. We estimated that unilateral sanctions were associated with an annual toll of 564 258 #deaths (95% CI 367 838–760 677), similar to the #global mortality burden associated with #armed #conflict."
