The settlers did not have adequate shelter and food . After the Indians saw that they had come to stay , they became unfriendly , refused to give them food and threatened them if they left their fort. Thus food became really scarce.
So many colonists died in Jamestown due to diseases and conflicts with natives in the area. This was a harsh environment which had very few of the comforts and conveniences associated with their homeland.
They didn't store enough provisions to last beyond their voyage which took longer than expected and when they arrived most of them were already sick and dying.
Many of the original Jamestown colonists suffered from hunger due to a combination of factors, including their lack of agricultural experience and the location's poor soil conditions. They were primarily focused on searching for gold rather than establishing a sustainable food supply, which led to neglecting farming and food production. Additionally, the settlers faced harsh winters and conflicts with Indigenous peoples, which further hindered their access to food resources. These challenges ultimately resulted in severe food shortages and high mortality rates among the colonists.

The Native Americans in and around Jamestown didn’t help them or associate with the men. The fort was built in an Native American empire of 15,000 and there were 104 men in Jamestown. They built the fort on the worse land in the area with mosquitoes and bad water. The local tribes knew this and all they had to do is wait for them to die. Within six months there were only 34 left alive.
There were a couple causes for why the people of Jamestown left. The main reasons were strained relationships with the local Native Americans, drought, and a host of several diseases carried by mosquitoes and caused by poor water and other items that caused colonists to starve and die.
