Internationally, 449 people were killed in 1996 due to earthquake-related incidents. Typically, earthquakes are responsible for 10,000 deaths per year. The 1996 fatalities are attributed to the heavily populated areas where the major and great earthquakes occurred. The reported number of deaths dropped drastically in 1996 from the yearly earthquake summary of 1995 which listed more than 8,000 fatalities.
