Mushroom hunting is probably the best way to save your tribe. Make sure your population doesn't get too high also.
There is a stew you can find that will restore your villagers health bar completely. They don't die off immediately when the food runs out, so even 1 or 2 mushrooms can make enough stew that will restore your whole village's health.
Many of us have been there and we know what you're facing, don't give up. It's a rough spot, but still possible to get through will little loss.
