No, Valley Forge did not have a good supply of food and shelter. A lot of soldiers died of hunger and sickness!
The winter at valley forge was very harsh. It was super cold. Many soldiers died. The soldiers that survived became better soldiers under the commands of some guy ( I dont remember who, though).
Around 2500 people died at Valley Forge.
There was no war at Valley Forge. Forge was the winter camp of the American forces. 2500 men died of disease, but for the most part the conditions were fairly good. They had warm cabins, plenty of food, and the officers wives were there, including Mrs. Washington.

The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease.
Valley Forge, PA
At Valley Forge soldiers grew weak from not having enough food or warm clothing. Roughly a quarter of them died from malnutrition, exposure to the cold, or diseases such as smallpox and typhoid fever.

Because they didn't had the supplies such as food and clothing. Also, there were illnesses such as smallpox. About 3,000 people died.
None. They weren't at Valley Forge. It was the winter camp for Washington's troops.
I can't give an exact answer. There were 11,000-14,000 soldiers at Valley Forge. At least 2,500 died of disease. I would say about 4000-6000 died. Sorry for not giving an exact number but different places will tell you different things. More people died in the initial phases of Valley Forge rather than the latter parts. Mainly because of the smallpox inoculations that were taken by most of the soldiers (Basically like a flu shot). It went from around a 1000 cases per week to 12 cases.
