In western societies, nobody commits crimes to literally survive. And, if they do, it is generally accepted as an excuse.
(c.f. the bishop of Cologne, Germany, regarding the theft of basic foodstuffs during the famine immediately after WW2)
A wish to survive is also an accepted excuse in many other cases of behaviour that would otherwise be considered criminal. You can even kill someone and get out of it with a credible claim of self-defence.
