famines

A famine is a severe shortage of food that leads to widespread hunger and malnutrition, often resulting in death. It can be caused by various factors, including natural disasters (like droughts and floods), conflicts (which disrupt food production and distribution), and economic factors (like high food prices). During a famine, food becomes scarce, making it difficult for people to access enough nutrition. Governments, organizations, and communities often work together to address the immediate needs of those affected and to implement long-term solutions to prevent future famines.
