because i am doing a report on the devastation's in japan. i have researched from many different websites that japan's death toll ranges from 10,000 that are dead and 16,000 missing. this is also the 5 worst earthquake in the history of the world with a magnitude of 8.9.
There is no way to know the exact numbers, since it is fairly preliminary at this moment. The death toll is rising as rescue searchers find more people under the rubble. As of March 20, police estimate the death toll has exceeded 18,000. That number has been reduced to just under 16,000 with over 3,000 people still missing as of September 2011.
As of 17th March 2011, 166 people have been officially announced dead by the local authorities.
The 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand resulted in 185 fatalities. Many more were injured, and thousands were displaced from their homes as a result of the destruction caused by the earthquake.
Approximately 90% of the people affected by the earthquake in Japan in 2011 survived. The final death toll was around 15,000, with more than 6,000 reported missing. The disaster caused extensive damage, but the majority of residents were able to evacuate and survive.
No official figures have been given out yet because the consequences of earthquake are affecting the people till now. However, more than 20000 people have been announced dead.
