The Lancet has published data concluding that US imposed sanctions cause the deaths of more than 564,000 people each year. More than half of the dead are children under the age of 5. (www.thelancet.com)

I'm not knocking the DPRK's efforts, but they still have a pretty high child malnutrition rate because Juche is not magic, even if it's not remotely as bad as during the Arduous March.

True, they would be doing a lot better without sanctions. Probably more of the reason it's not in this study is because figures from the DPRK are hard to come by and just ignored mostly.
