** The death toll is different from the sources. This is our challenge.

Pakistan
2005 Kashmir Earthquake (M7.7) Death Toll approx.90,000
1990 Quetta Earthquake (M7.5) Death Toll approx.60,000

India
2001 Gujarat Earthquake (M8.0) Death Toll approx.20000
Note: International assistance efforts influenced the country’s governance negatively.
Illegal house buildings were spread out after the event. This leads India to make a decision
not to accept international assistance efforts (workers,etc.) after the Indian Ocean Tsunami
disaster in 2004
1994 Bihar-Nepal Earthquake (M8.3) Death Toll approx.10000
Note : Nepal did not allow foreigners into the country.
Therefore, the death toll number is inaccurate.

Note : Stone wall house buildings impact on the high mortality numbers.

Indonesia

China

the deadliest earthquake in the world history

-4,000,000 houses were destroyed
