Top 10 of the Deadliest Natural Disasters in 2022

The year 2022 served as yet another harbinger of how disaster-prone the Asia-Pacific area is globally. The major catastrophes of 2022 occurred in countries with various levels of development, ranging from floods in Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Thailand to drought in China, Kiribati, and Tuvalu, typhoons Megi and Nalgae in the Philippines, heatwaves in India, Japan, and Pakistan, and earthquakes in Afghanistan, Fiji, and Indonesia. With 74.4% of disaster events in the area and 88.4% of all fatalities worldwide attributed to floods, they were the deadliest natural disaster.

Here are the Ten of the “deadliest” natural disasters that struck the world in 2022:

10. Afghanistan Floods

According to the United Nations and the Taliban government, at least 182 people have died and hundreds more have been injured in Afghanistan following a month of intense flooding brought on by seasonal rains.

The sudden flooding caused more than 250 injuries, and more than 3,000 homes were either demolished or damaged, according to the Taliban’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. Mujahid reported that at least 182 people had died.

The period between August 16 and August 21 saw the highest death toll, with 63 individuals losing their lives to the flash floods. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 8,200 families are affected across 13 provinces, with 30 more people reported
Missing.

9. Assam floods

According to media sources, India experienced above-average rainfall during the June to September monsoon season, much like the previous year. At least 192 people were killed in landslides and flooding in the northeastern state of Assam, one of the worst-affected regions. The river Brahmaputra has always altered its course and reclaimed farms and villages, however in recent years, the frequency and intensity of the river’s destruction have risen.

According to reports, the districts that are impacted are Bajali, Biswanath, Cachar, Chirang, Dima Hasao, Golaghat, Hailakandi, Kamrup, Morigaon, Nagaon, Sivasagar, and Tamulpur.

According to reports, Morigaon, which is home to almost 143,000 sick individuals, is the next worst-hit district, with Cachar having nearly 356,000 sufferers. A total of 34,723 people were still struggling as a result of the flood.

Over 7,368 hectares of cropland have been flooded, and about 390 settlements have been completely drowned, according to the report.

8. Brazil mudslide

The Brazilian town of Petropolis saw severe flooding just two months into the year. At least 233 people died, according to reports in the media, as flood waters and mudslides swept through the mountain village. More than 850 people were reported to have lost their homes or needed to flee. During Brazil’s imperial period, Petropolis served as the emperors’ favored summer retreat. Since then, the city has been rebuilding after the devastation of the deluge.

7. Indonesia Earthquake

On November 21, 2022, just before 1:30 p.m. local time, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake occurred in the mountainous Cianjur district on the west coast of Java island, Indonesia. The epicenter of the earthquake was just about 6.2 miles below the surface. Recovery efforts were impeded by numerous aftershocks of differing strengths that were felt. In the surrounding cities of Sukabumi and Bandung as well as around 60 miles northwest of Cianjur, the tremor was felt as far away as Jakarta.

After a few days, the search and rescue operations changed to search and recovery because some persons were buried in their homes and other buildings that either collapsed around them or were carried away in a landslide.

At least 334 persons died, according to a press release from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB). More than 2,000 people were hurt, and eight people were still missing as of December 9.
