It's not a question of numbers, but relevancy. I would say that a disaster in Central Europe and North America will always get to the news, even if it didn't cause a large number of deaths. If it happens anywhere else in the World, it takes a lot more to be newsworthy.
I don't agree with this binary view of the world, but that's how it is. As a European.
