The United Nations' World Food Program reportedly provided North Korea with some 3 million U.S.
dollars worth of emergency food aid earlier this month.
Washington-based Radio Free Asia reports... that the UN food agency supplied emergency
assistance for children and pregnant women in the North due to a drop in donations from
the international community. The UN body is currently trying to collect
200 million dollars earmarked for the two groups in the North by 2015, but has only
collected around 25 million dollars so far. It estimates that 84 percent of all North
Korean households have borderline or poor food consumption.
