It's over 40,000 now.  And we may never know the true toll in the war-torn part of Syria that was affected.

Colombia urges evacuation near volcano.
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230429-colombia-urges-evacuation-near-volcano

QuoteThe Disaster Risk Management Office said it was moving to evacuate communities that are located within 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the main crater of three that make up the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in the Colombian Andes.

Seismic activity has increased at the volcano, which killed 25,000 people in an eruption in 1985.

That blast was the worst natural disaster in Colombian history and one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century.

There has recently been a "significant increase in seismic activity," the ministry of mines said in a statement while Colombia's SGC geological service warned of a "probable eruption within days or weeks."

The 5,300-meter (17,400-foot) colossus in western Colombia is one of the many volcanoes along the Ring of Fire, a path around the Pacific basin characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

Good to point out that most of the deaths were from a massive lahar unleashed by the eruption that extended will beyond the pyroclastic flows.  Thousands were buried by the mix of melted glacier, ash and rock because it hit their homes at night.
Emergency planners learned some harsh lessons.
So I can understand the caution.

Kilauea started erupting again on the 7th.

The lava lake is back.  Should all stay confined to the summit caldera, just like the last couple rounds.  That sucker is hundreds of feet deep still after 2018.
