Consider what is the best way in your language to begin this new episode.

famine
See how you translated famine in Gen 12:10. Alternate translation: “another famine” or “another extreme lack of food” or “another time of severe food shortage”

וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ יִצְחָ֛ק
and=he/it_went Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac)
In your translation it should not sound like Isaac went alone to the city of Gerar; the rest of his family lived with him.

to/towards ʼₐⱱīmelek king Pelishtim Gerar,to
Be consistent here with how you translated “the city of Gerar” in Gen 10:19; 20:1-2 and Philistines in Gen 10:14; 21:32, 34. Alternate translation: “went for help to the Philistine king Abimelech, who lived in the city of Gerar.”
