hi, I'd like to know how I may have made a mistake in the following sentences.
Thanks.
The earthquake caused destruction to 200 buildings, and about 500 death tolls, 6000 casualties, and 5000 homeless.

'The earthquake destroyed 200 buildings, caused the deaths of about 500 people, injured 6,000, and made 5,000 homeless.'

A better title would have been The earthquake. 'Uncountables' has nothing to do with your question.

Thanks.
How can "death toll" be used as plural in a sentence correctly?
Can one say, "....5000 death tolls." or "death tolls were in hundreds." ?
I appreciate it very much.

You can't.
The death toll was enormous.
