| When there was a terrible famine in Africa one year we did a ten mile walkathon to raise money. |
| For example, warring factions often induce drought and famine through the use of scorched-earth tactics. |
| They estimate that mortality from the famine was in the range of four to six million deaths. |
| Others have the gaunt, skull-like features and folds of skin you will have seen from television pictures of previous famines. |
| Mortality during famines was rarely caused solely by starvation but from related diseases like dysentery, typhoid, and typhus. |
| Such mild, culinary euphemisms muffled and camouflaged the enforced famines and the murders of millions. |
