You should know that these figures are fairly disputed. This specific study comes from a Venezuelan think-tank specifically set up to advocate for sanction relief. It also has some findings that go against previously established literature (such as stating that UN sanctions are less harmful than US sanctions, whereas previous studies found the opposite (eg https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/215035/1/cesifo1_wp8033.pdf). There’s also debate as to how much of this is causation and how much is correlation. Plus there’s no analysis regarding improved life expectancy after sanction relief compared to a scenario where no sanctions were instated in the first place.
Also, be aware that historically these arguments were used for example to seek sanction relief for Apartheid South-Africa.
