from reality into fantasy while millions unable to flee from slow death.

The local politics of the region play a role - I've heard that if you find a famine going on you will usually find a war or something like it happening in the vicinity. If food is sent from halfway around the world but in the endf can only get to within 100 miles of those who need it, it has the same effect as if it hadn't been sent at all.
However, it's interesting that the development of oil-driven transportation and a global market system hasn't made food availability much more uniform than it was 250 years ago.
