Up to 66,900 people died from earthquakes in 2023, the highest death toll for earthquakes since 2010. At least 59,488 people died in the Turkey–Syria doublets of February, which dominated world headlines because of its extensive devastation; the first mainshock was also the largest earthquake of the year at M_w 7.8. In September, Morocco suffered its largest earthquake in centuries; the M_w 6.8 shock killed nearly 3,000 people. In October, four M_w 6.3 earthquakes struck Afghanistan's Herat Province, killing over 1,400 people. A moderate shock in western Nepal also killed 153 people in November, while in December, another tremor in northern China killed 151; the nation's deadliest since 2014.
