In terms of the number of lives lost, most people who die as a result of natural disasters are in LEDCs.
It has been reported, for example, that between 1991 and 2005, 630000 people were killed by natural disasters in LEDCs compared with 72000 in MEDCs (International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, 2010). In addition, poorer people may have to risk living in disaster-prone areas in order to make a living. For example, most of the farming population of Bangladesh live in low-lying parts of the country where severe floods occur regularly. As far as economic impact is concerned, the infrastructure (e.g. reads, airports, electricity and gas supply) in LEDCs is often of poorer quality, and can easily be damaged or destroyed in natural disasters. In particular, tourism, which is an important part of the economy in many LEDCs, can be badly hit by damage to infrastructure. With respect to social impact, disasters have a greater social impact on poorer people than on better-off people. 
Adams (2008) has said that although a household on a lower income may spend less in total terms than a wealthier household, they are likely to spend a higher proportion of their income on recovery. It is also the case that fewer people in LEDCs have insurance against property damage. From the point of view of health, facilities in LEDCs are often less able to cope with demand after a natural disaster. In my personal experience, the medical services there were clearly unable to deal with the huge number injured when I did voluntary work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. This can be made worse by the fact that, in some LEDCs, there are only basic water and sewage facilities, which can easily be damaged by natural disasters.
However, in some respects, natural disasters may have a greater impact on MEDCs. For example, MEDCs have more developed infrastructure, which is very expensive to replace or repair if it is damaged. Wills (2009) has shown that the United States and Japan suffered the most economic damage from natural disasters between 1991 and 2005. It may also be that while MEDCs are better placed than LEDCs to face natural disasters, there may be variation within MEDCs. 
 Finally, factors other than the level of national development influence how severe the impact of a natural disaster on a country is.]]> 2018-05-10 18:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lhy456654/qczwu7uk1y0n/wish/259752070 lhy456654 https://padlet.com/lhy456654/qczwu7uk1y0n/wish/267286074 Muhammad Yunus, who was born in 1940, is another influential social entrepreneur.
