famine victim
Starved by scarcity
A famine victim is someone suffering or dead from severe food shortage.
The term appears in news coverage and humanitarian appeals: Aid workers distributed supplies to famine victims.
It frames people as recipients of catastrophe rather than agents, which some find dehumanizing—alternatives like "famine survivor" or "people affected by famine" are sometimes preferred.
