About 1500 people die from Cancer each day in the US alone. And 3400 more people are diagnosed with cancer each day.
Total numbers in the whole world are much bigger and can be only guessed and estimated, as the methods and level of development and level of health care is very different in various regions in the world.

Also cancer can occur at any part of the body, at any organ which cells cannot longer operate in a normal way and are growing in an unnatural way also called malignancy. It has the ability to spread through the body with the help of blood and lymph systems. Cancer is a second leading cause of death in the states after heart disease.

Cancer diagnosis begins with a thorough medical examination. The treatment is complex and still not a proper cure or a treatment has been found to reverse the process.

Hunger is a major cause of deaths each and every day. Who suffers the most of starvation and hunger?
There are few groups that are most vulnerable to hunger and starvation. If a person doesn’t have a daily calorie intake he needs and proper amount of nutritious, the consequences can be staggering.

Over time hunger slows down mental and physical development, causes severe illness and disease and the whole range of social problems associated with it.

How many people die of starvation each day?

Warning: Huge Photo, but it will be worth it…

According to the UN numbers released in 2009 about 29,000 people die each die, and this report was finished before the huge world financial crisis which certainly impacted the situation and brought it to a worse point.

How many people die of hunger and starvation each year?

Each year over 10 million children die of hunger related issues, disease and complications. Each day about 30,000 children day. It is so huge a problem, it has caused more victims that the atomic bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki together, in fact hunger and starvation cause similar numbers like dropping the bomb this size every 3-4 days in a bigger city.

Total number of people die because of hunger related problems each year has climbed to more than 25 Million in 2010, according to a university research. About one-fourth of the total world population lives with under $1 per day.

Hunger and starvation are one of the world’s biggest problems and the government of developed countries should undertake bigger efforts to try to minimize this huge problem. Even reducing the number of total deaths related to eating disorders by 5% each year will be a huge success.

How Many People Die Each Year and Each Day From Drunk Driving

admin — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:59:43 +0000

It is just said that so many people die from drunk driving each year. Even the number of people killed daily from drunk drivers are enormous around the world. It is a nasty habit and everyone should avoid drinking and driving in the same day.

This numbers are illustrating only the US situation:

- One person is killed every 30 minutes – the cause driving under influence.

- Each year more than 15 000 thousand people are killed in alcohol related accidents and crashes

- Alcohol is responsible and the main cause for more than half of the worst traffic accidents with fatalities.

- Every other minute a person is seriously injured in an alcohol related crash

- Over 25% of all US people will be involved in car accident during their life

- The probability of alcohol related car accident is 5 time more likely to occur at night

- More than 65% hard-core criminals start their criminal record with driving under influence

- Over 40% of bike accidents are fatal

- You are more likely to fall asleep while driving because of the increased amount of alcohol in your blood.

- Driving drunk can get you arrested and jailed for many months and even years in some cases.

A list of problems gets bigger with each glass. Let’s illustrate this even further. Thanksgiving is the holiday when each year most people get drunk in a company of their closest family members. Then they drive home under influence risking many people’s lives including their own.

A recent study proves that alcohol can impair driver’s vision by reducing his depth perception, which is so important when driving. Our advice if you spot a drunk driver is to report him by dialing the local highway patrol or nearest police station to tell the exact location, or even remember his license plate. This way you can prevent some really bad accident and save a few lives today which is certainly worth your time.

Some other studies shows that more than 60% of bad and fatal accidents occur in the age group of 18-31, at night, near or after important national holidays. So try to avoid road during this period.

How Many people die each year in the world from driving drunk? The total number can be only estimated but it surely is in range of millions and only going to increase, as the total population increases and also some huge Eastern countries like China and India increase their pace to motorization.

How Many People Died in Iraq War, Gulf war?

The First Iraq War also known as the First Persian Gulf War, began on August 2nd, 1990, and it lasted until February 28 1991. This war was fought between the UN coalition forces from thirty-four countries led by the United States. The leader of Iraq Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait on August 2 1990. This led to many economic sanctions to Iraq world wide. Six months later the United States sent in their troops to Iraq and urged other countries to join in forces. The conflict ended with the aerial bombardment of Iraq on 16 January 1991 and the final victory was sealed on the 23 of February.

Eisenhower, US airline carrier:

Gulf War:

This was a severe war so the bombing and the battles took a number of casualties civilian and military on both sides.

US Marines in Persian Gulf War, 1991:

Damaged iraqi tank:

It is estimated that over 3,500 civilians died of bombing and 100,000 civilians as a result of other war operations. The number of Iraqi soldiers that died in the war is unknown. It is believed that over 15,000 soldiers have died in this war. Anyways Saddam Hussein never gave the exact number, but he gave a larger number of civilian deaths in order to gain support of other Islamic countries, and reported smaller amounts of soldiers dead.

USS Missouri, Desert Storm:

Iraq War British Troops:

The Coalition has only reported 190 deaths of Iraq fire, and the rest of 379 coalition deaths were out of accidents. The number of wounded soldiers is 779. The greatest number of lost soldiers is kept by the US 294 and the lowest number of casualties by France. By the reports you can see that the number of people who died in friendly fire (fire by other allied forces) is grater than the number of people who died in battle. Its cost was calculated to be over $61 billion by the American congress. Too bad that so many people had to die, not to mention the number of people who died until they caught Saddam Hussein.

How many people died in the Holocaust?

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 09:02:13 +0000

In 1933 Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. That was the beginning of the Holocaust (1933-1945). The Holocaust took a lot of victims. Most of them were Jews. Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany believed that there is a world conspiracy of Jew for dominating the World, so in order to prevent that he started killing not just Jews but also Slavs, Gypsies, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, people with disabilities, Jehovah witnesses and all political opponents.

Hidden Children – Dorottya Dezsofi:

Hidden Children – Sabina Kagan:

Experts say that the exact numbers of people who died in the war may never be known, but the numbers that circulate in today’s history speak more than enough of the Nazi inhumanity. In the lines below we are giving you the numbers per nationalities.

Concentration camp:

Holocaust in concentration camp:

• Soviet prisoners of war – 3.3 million
• Non-Jewish Poles- 1.8-2 million
• Disabled – 200,000 – 250,000
• Romanis (‘gypsies’) – 220,000- 270,000 (might be even bigger)
• Homosexuals – 5,000 – 15,000
• Jehovah Witnesses – 2,500 – 5,000
• Jews – 5.9 million

Holocaust is usually referred to man made genocide or killing and the explanation of the word in a vocabulary is this: “great destruction resulting in the extensive loss of life, especially by fire”. This is usually referred to the gas chambers that were in the concentration camps. That is why it is believed that the number of 11 million people that died in the Holocaust might jump up to 17 million people. The numbers of the ethnics that are outlined above can vary because Hitler also went after political opponents, there is no exact number of the homosexuals that were killed, he also targeted Catholic and Protestant pastors, black people, physically and mentally ill…

Holocaust Book of Commitment, Gordon Brown:

WW2 Holocaust:

All around the world there are over 250 museums and centers dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. There you can find more detailed information.

How Many People Died in the Concentration Camps

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 00:01:29 +0000

The word holocaust has Greek origin and means “sacrifice by fire”. The Holocaust is the result of the Nazi politics, a systematic execution of six million European Jews. As we all know during World War II Hitler had the idea of cleaning the World of all that wasn’t white and and all who didn’t practice Christian Religion. He believed that they had “racial inferiority”. In order to achieve his goal more easily he started opening “the camps of death” or the concentration camps as they were called. In those camps he forced people to work hard, made medical and scientific experiments on them and in the end he gassed them with carbon monoxide and other deadly gasses.

There were a couple of concentration camps that were opened in Europe. The numbers below will show the damage done in terms of human life numbers:

Auschwitz, located in Poland was the biggest and worst of them all. It was three concentration camps in one and it killed over one quarter of a million people. (with gas chambers)

Bergen-Belsen, located in Germany and was built in 1943. The most famous victim of concentration camps Anna Frank died there together with 37 000 other people. (no gas chambers)

Dachau located in Germany and built in 1933, was the first camp that the Nazis had built. Many people died there as a result of the harsh medical experiments. As a result of that it is known as the harshest concentration camp. (no gas chambers)

Sachsenhausen built in 1936 located in Germany. 100 000 people died as a result of the inhuman conditions and the other 100 000 were taken to other concentration camps. (no gas chambers)

Auschwitz II, Birkenau:

Buchenwald, exterior of crematorium:

Theresienstadt in Czech Republic was the ghetto where Jews were sent to live. 33 500 died because it was too crowded to live there and the rest 88 000 were sent to Auschwitz.

Treblinka and T.II located in Poland. Those were two camps that killed from 700 000 to 900 000 Jews. (with gas chambers).

The crematorium of Majdanek:

In 1933 Europe had over 9 million Jews and over 6 million of them were killed in the camps, during the following period of 1934-1945.

How Many People Died from the Black Death, Plague

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:53:03 +0000

The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics that ever happened to mankind. It is called the Black Death because of the black spots that it left on human skin, but the name of the disease is bubonic plague that was imposed by the Yesinia pestis bacteria. It is believed that the illness originally appeared in Asia, and was passed in Europe thanks to the black rats and the fleas living on their backs, that were regular passengers on the merchant ships.

The black death, plague:

The black death, plague spreading:

The outbreak was so terrible that there were no more places to burry the dead and they were left out on the open. The plague only “worked” when it was warm during the winter it stood but only because the fleas were dormant. The plague or the Black Death didn’t attack people for just a couple of years it attacked for centuries. It began in 1300′s and it finally disappeared in 1600′s.

The black death, plague:

The black death:

In Europe the Black Plague was raging from 1348 until 1350. During that time it killed not thousands but millions of people. Just in Europe 25 million people died because of the plague, which is one-third of Europe’s population at that time. World wide it is supposed that the plague has killed over 75 million people. It took the world over 150 years to recuperate from the Black Death. Nowadays there are medicines that can combat this medieval curse, but at that time the medicine had very little to battle with.

The plague took its tool also on economy, politics and church. In that period people believed that it was a curse and I guess that they were right. Even today we can’t avoid these plagues (swine flu, anthrax, aids, and cancer) and I believe that even if they manage to find the cure for these there will always be a new threat. Let’s just hope that we can beat it.

How Many People Died in the Korean War

admin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:55:50 +0000

The Korean War stared on 25th of June, 1950 and ended on 27th of July, 1953. This war is actually a battle between the Communists and the Capitalists. After the World War II, the two most powerful countries were the USA – Capitalists and the USSR – Communists and they were batling for world domination.

The Korean War:

The key territory was the Far East, Truman thought that the Communism would have the domino effect on the world (if one became a communist country all would be) and the USSR was the biggest communist country at that time. So the country was divided on the 38th parallel on North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was Communist country and South Korea was a Capitalist country.

Korean War, Marilyn Monroe visiting soldiers:

The Korean War:

Actually the war was an indirect war between Stalin and Truman. All the fighting occurred on the 38th parallel.

The exact number of people who died isn’t so clear. The data are different on every page on the internet and in most history books. I guess that the most accurate data can be found on the history channel. It gives us the number of 2.5 million North Korean soldiers and civilians, 1.5 million South Korean soldiers and civilians, 1 million Chinese soldiers and civilians, 55,000 American soldiers, 500 Canadian soldiers, 300 Australian soldiers and 5000 soldiers from different countries from the UN troops.

Korean War Memorial:

Korean War Remembered:

The official ending of the war was in 1953 but Korea still stays divided until today and the cold war between the communist and the capitalists is still led. Today South Korea is developed and industrialized. North Korea is still rural and undeveloped, people are suppressed and watched for every move. The Korean War was the first war of influence latter it was followed by the Vietnam War and many other wars. The Korean War still is the subject of many films, plays and documentaries demonstrating the power of two world wide powers.

How Many People Died in the Tsunami in 2004

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:47:02 +0000

When I looked up for the meaning of tsunami, I found put that it is a large amount of water that is moved as a result of an earthquake, volcanic eruptions or underwater explosion. These kinds of movement are characteristic for seas, although it can sometimes occur in large lakes. The knowledge for tsunami was wage until the beginning of the 20th century; even nowadays it is still the subject of many researches.

After the tsunami, Dec 26th, 2004, Ko Phi Phi:

After the tsunami, Ko Phi Phi:

The tsunami that occurred almost six years ago was one of the biggest disasters that mankind has seen in the past 40 years. On the 22nd of December, 2004, the seismologists have measured an earthquake with a magnitude of between 9.1 and 9.3 degrees (according to Richter’s scale) that had an epicenter under the sea. Because of this tectonic movement a large wave was created that strike the west cost of Sumatra, Indonesia and also Sri Lanka and Thailand. This was said to be one of the second largest earthquakes ever recorded in human history.

After the tsunami disaster:

Tsunami:

The estimated number of victims that died from the tsunami is 275,000 people. Some of the latest research claim that there were 229,886 people lost which also included 186,983 dead and 42,883 missing. This is the number of victims in over fourteen countries. A great amount of the countries that were hit were popular resorts that at the time had many guests. More than a million people were left without a roof over their heads. It is also believed that 1/3 of the victims are children. Just imagine the force, waves traveling with the speed of 800 km/h. It really was devastating.

Dec 26th, 2004 Srilanka, Kalutara flood:

After this disaster the government of the affected countries, stared to work on a tsunami warning system. Although over $12 billion were sent as a world wide help it took a lot of time to rebuild some of the lost homes and I believe that they are still renewing. All what is left right now is the hope that this will never happen again.

How Many People Died from Swine Flu

admin — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:44:32 +0000

The swine flu was a global pandemic influenza that was first discovered in April 2009. This new virus was a mixture of bird flu, swine and human flu. This flu didn’t affect only people with health problems (asthma, heart problems) this also effected even young people and pregnant women too. So the new virus got the name A (H1N1). The problem and the level of panic were of course for a reason, people didn’t just get sick they also started dieing from this virus.

Swine Flu Vaccine:

Swine Flu Inspection:

It all started in Veracruz, Mexico, where, unfortunately there was an on going epidemic for months before it officially was recognized. The authorities tried to do everything in their power to stop the spreading, like closing public facilities, but the influenza continued on spreading world wide. This lead the World Health Organization to declare the flu pandemic in June 2009.

The numbers speak for the deadly outcome of the swine flu. Some web pages speak that there were over 17,000 dead. Other information gives the number of around 15,000 people. You have to have in mind that not all the people that have been tested to see whether the flu is pandemic or seasonal. So the numbers might be even higher.

The main reason for such a spread was the late arrival of vaccines. The vaccines that were used during the pandemic only helped the immune system to fight while they didn’t prevent of swine flu. Of course the other reason was the little information that was given for the swine flu. People thought that they will be protected of it if they don’t eat pork. It turned out that the swine flu was air transmittable. The biggest panic, of course, was created in the media. Nobody knew what they were fighting against. Luckily, the pandemic was stopped, and to prevent yourself from any kind of flu be sure to work on your immune system, because in the end that is the one that can save you from any kind of disease.
