Detailed Solution

The Above Statement is True.
When there is a catastrophe or calamity, the food supply is negatively impacted. The production of food grains will be decreased in the event of a natural disaster, such as a drought. In the affected areas, it leads to a food shortage. As a result, the costs increase. Numerous people cannot afford to purchase food at the current prices. If the disaster lasts for a longer period or affects a large area, there will be starvation among the populace. If there is severe starvation, there will be a famine. For instance, the Bengal Famine of 1943 resulted in the deaths of about 30 lakh people in the province of Bengal. The famine in India at the time was the worst ever. The price increases that caused this famine's deaths were most felt by the group of people who worked as casual labourers, transport workers, fishermen, and agricultural labourers.
