Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A calamity is a disaster like a drought, flood, the onset of a pandemic, or shortage of crops leading to famines, earthquakes, etc., that causes widespread suffering and loss of life. A natural calamity like a flood or drought causes damage to food crops, which results in food crops being available at skyrocketing prices. Many people cannot afford food at skyrocketing prices, as food insecurity is not limited to the poorest sections of society during calamities. If such a calamity affects a general area and persists over a longer period, people living in this area starve for food. When starvation is widespread, it results in famine.
