Casualty figures refer to the number of people who are killed or injured in a specific event, such as a war, natural disaster, or accident. These figures are important for understanding the impact of such events on communities and can help inform responses and recovery efforts. Governments, organizations, and researchers often compile casualty figures to provide accurate data for analysis. This information can also be used to raise awareness and support for affected areas, as well as to guide policy decisions related to emergency response and public health.
