There are many estimates, but the estimate in Iraq alone is 1/2 Million children deaths -- back in 1996. The US State Secretary Madeline Albright -- on video -- not only doesnt deny it but says it was worht the cost!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bntsfiAXMEE

In the case of Iraq, the deaths were due to two reasons

- President Bush 1's strategy to destroy civil infrastructure (water purification plants, sewage plants), which resulted in...bad water and mass deaths via disease

- President Clinton's sanctions which disallowed almost everything as dual use and prevented critical relief, essentially starving society for 8+ years.

The interview is from half-way thru the Clinton term.
