Table 1.26 contains the total number of deaths worldwide as a result of earthquakes from 2000 to 2012.
$$\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline \text { Year } & {\text { Total Number of Deaths }} \\ \hline 2000 & {231} \\ \hline 2001 & {21,357} \\ \hline 2002 & {11,685} \\ \hline 2003 & {33,819} \\ \hline 2004 & {228,802} \\ \hline 2005 & {88,003} \\ \hline 2006 & {6,605} \\ \hline 2007 & {712} \\ \hline 2008 & {88,011} \\ \hline 2009 & {1,790} \\ \hline 2010 & {320,120} \\ \hline 2011 & {21,953} \\ \hline 2012 & {768} \\ \hline \text { Total } & {823,856} \\ \hline \end{array}$$
