These figures are the minimum number of fatalities in the countries shown. They are taken from reports provided to IDAN organisations and also include some taken from various media sources.
The number for certain countries will be relatively accurate (eg. U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Japan.) However, the numbers for many other countries especially less developed countries, are very likely understated.
The data from Europe (with the exception on the UK) is predominatly taken from insurance claims so is very likely to be an underestimate.
