I would wager those are "normal" things, not good. When did hunger, poverty, death etc go up outside wars?

About 50% of the time throughout human history? We've been making constant progress for a very short time.
Widespread famine happened in Europe as recently as the late 19th century, and all it took was one or two cold summers.
