The cost in lives that these conflicts have represented is very high. There are no exact figures for the number of deaths that the convulsed political situation in the Middle East has left, but it is estimated that between 8,000,000 and 16,000,000 people lost their lives from 1902 to the present due to conflicts in the Middle East.
