Why do you think more people die in a poor country when the earthquake hitscompared to a rich country?

More people tend to die in poor countries during earthquakes due to several factors, including inadequate infrastructure, lack of effective building codes, and limited emergency response systems. Poor countries often have densely populated areas with substandard housing that cannot withstand seismic activity, leading to higher casualty rates. Additionally, these nations may lack the resources for early warning systems, disaster preparedness, and medical care, exacerbating the impact of such natural disasters.
