Question from UPSC Prelims 2023 GS Paper

Explanation : 

Correct Answer – d

Somalia

Somalia has been suffering from decades of civil strife and food shortages. The country has faced ongoing conflict since the early 1990s, when the central government collapsed, and various factions began fighting for control. This has led to widespread instability, making it difficult for aid organizations to provide assistance and for the country to develop a stable food supply. In recent years, Somalia has experienced severe famine due to a combination of factors, including drought, conflict, and the effects of climate change. The situation has led to a humanitarian crisis, with millions of people facing food insecurity and malnutrition.
