Natural Disasters
Natural disasters killed about twice as many people in 2013 as in the previous year, but last year's figure is still well below the average seen for the past decade, a global insurance company said Tuesday.
In a report Tuesday, German insurance company Munich Re said that there were about 880 major natural disasters across the world in 2013, which cost about $125 billion and ended the lives of some 20,000 people. The insured cost was smaller, at $31 billion.
The human toll was more than double the 2012 figure, but both are well below the average seen for the past decade, which has seen 106,000 people per year, on average, lose their lives to natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons and earthquakes.
