Detailed Solution

Famine is characterised by widespread deaths due to starvation, epidemics and loss of body resistance.
Natural disasters diminish the food supply, resulting in widespread destruction from malnutrition brought on by widespread hunger, known as famine. A famine is a severe lack of food brought on by several things, such as crop failure, population imbalance, pervasive poverty, a financial collapse, or government actions. Typically, this phenomenon is followed or accompanied by regional famine, malnutrition, epidemics, and increased mortality. The United Nations World Food Programme states that famine is proclaimed when there is widespread malnutrition and people are beginning to perish from starvation due to a lack of access to appropriate, nutrient-rich food.
