I know everything is still emerging, but why does this article say in one place that estimates "number in the hundreds of thousands" and in another, "as high as 100,000?" Which are we going with here? AlexHOUSE ( talk) 01:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, the findings of the Dutch
Radio Netherlands Worldwide (RNW) journalists, based on interviews with local authorities and cemetery administrators suggest the actual death toll is most likely below 100,000.
The numbers mentioned in the RNW article in the following table for a better understanding of the disparities with government figures.
Death toll of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, according to RNW findings:
Buried | Unrecovered bodies | Total | Government estimates | ||
Léogâne ( MM IX) | 3,364 | 1,636 | 5,000 | 20,000-30,000 | |
Petit-Goâve, Grand-Goâve and Gressier ( MM IX): | 1,347 | 20 | 1,367 | ? | |
Jacmel ( MM VIII) See also: this section | ? | ? | 400 | 4,000 | |
Port-au-Prince ( MM VIII): | |||||
main cemetry | 18,000 | 18,000 | ? | ||
other cemetries | 7,000 | 7,000 | ? | ||
mass graves in Titanyen | 13,000-20,000 | 13,000-20,000 | ? | ||
other (mass) graves | 10,000 | 10,000 | ? | ||
Total buried victims | ~ 62,000 | ? | |||
Bodies still under the rubble | 30,000 | 30,000 | ? | ||
Total death toll estimate | ~ 91,767 | ~ 230,000 |

The RNW death toll estimate is included in the main article on the quake, and I'd suggest also including it in this article. Arjuno ( talk 04:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC) Arjuno ( talk 04:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Remember, casualties refer to both deaths AND injuries. This article seems a little focused on deaths only. *SIGNIFICANT* injuries should be included. Michaelh2001 ( talk) 04:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't think some random, non-famous foreigner getting their foot amputated belongs on this article personally. -- Tocino 07:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
There was mention on CNN or MSNBC the other day that there were 10,000 distinct aid organizations operating in Haiti prior to the earthquake. With that many aid agencies, I'd expect a very broad spread of casualties. However, I haven't been able to find out if that 10,000 number is remotely accurate. If anyone can track it down, I believe the figure would be important to add to put the foreign deaths into context. — Mulad (talk) 21:48, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
This is what was being aired on CBC television all day today, quoted from Haitian officials, why does the page still estimate as low as 30,000? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.247.245.14 ( talk) 09:20, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
These were the first red cross estimates. They are well known for their lowballing (in the 2004 Tsunami they said 15,500 killed). 189.58.45.157 ( talk) 12:12, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
A list/table should be set up to list how many confirmed casualties have died from each country, I know this will be long to do but there are sources out there. I feel the Notable casualties should be listed seperate. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 23:34, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
There is a new US report that indicates that significantly fewer casualties existed than the Haitian government has stated. This should go into the article... as soon as the report is finished and we move out of the land of first drafts. RTRimmel ( talk) 11:58, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
