According to the US Geological Survey for the years from 2000 to 2010 there have been an average of 63,000 deaths per year due to earthquakes globally. This is based on the estimated number of earthquake deaths annually.
The annual estimated figures can vary significantly from year to year depending on the occurrence and location of large earthquakes. For example in 2000 there were only 231 estimated earthquake deaths globally, whereas in 2004 there were 228,802 (which most likely corresponds to the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake) and in 2010 there have been an estimated 226,215 (due in part to the very large number of deaths in the January 2010 Haitian earthquake).

How many people have died from the earthquakes?
Excellent question! However, not enough information is available to provide a specific number of deaths from all earthquakes that occured everywhere in the world since the beginning of time. I did some lengthy research on this and I could only find statistics on a 'per earthquake' basis. It has data from the year 1900 forward. For earthquakes with at least 1,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/world_deaths.php For earthquakes with over 50,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/most_destructive.php The U.S. Geological Survey website has a wealth of information! I highly encourage you to check it out at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/10,000
