Famine

Famine is a severe shortage of food that leads to widespread hunger and malnutrition in a community or region. It often results from a combination of factors, including natural disasters (like droughts or floods), conflicts, economic instability, and poor agricultural practices. When food supplies dwindle, people may suffer from starvation, disease, and even death. Famine can have lasting impacts on society, affecting health, education, and economic productivity. International aid and effective government response are crucial to prevent and mitigate the effects of famine on vulnerable populations.
