North Korea drought: South Korea to send 50,000 tonnes of rice
BBC: North Korea drought: South Korea to send 50,000 tonnes of rice
2 hours ago
South Korea plans to send 50,000 tonnes of rice to drought-stricken North Korea, its first food donation to the isolated nation in a decade.
A severe drought, compounded by economic sanctions, has led to chronic food shortages in North Korea.
South Korea's unification ministry said the rice will be delivered "as soon as possible".
The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) will be in charge of overseeing the food donation.
North Korea suffers worst drought in decades
