Countries don't suffer or experience pain, people (and other living things) do. The notion that individual suffering can be added up for some total of inhumanity is somewhat dubious, as are comparisons of individual deaths: is it the number of casualties that matters, does it suffering experienced before death factor in, and does it make a difference if it was caused intentionally and without good cause, accidentally, naturally, etc.? But yeah, it's rather gruesome. Syria is very similar, for some reason.
