____________________________________
The very high number of fatalities in October and December are related to 3 major events (2 in October of about 10,000 each and 1 in December of about 20,000). Beyond these exceptional events, the curve is pretty symmetric with a peak in July, and a low number of people killed by floods in Mar/Apr.
