👉 Famines are severe and frequent periods of famine, characterized by significant food shortages, malnutrition, and widespread suffering. These conditions can occur due to a variety of factors such as droughts, floods, wars, political instability, and natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes. Famine can be especially devastating for vulnerable populations who may have little else to rely on but their survival. Famines often lead to a significant reduction in the population's food supply, which can exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities.
