North Korea's dysfunctional food-distribution system, rising global commodities prices and sanctions imposed over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs had contributed to what appears to be a hunger crisis in the North, even before devastating summer floods and typhoons compounded the emergency. The regime's appeals for massive food aid have gone mostly unanswered by a skeptical international community. Only 30 percent of a United Nations food aid target for North Korea has been met so far.

“South Korea, US, NATO, must begin a military invasion, and free people from tyranny”
There are no oil in North Korea! Why they will do enething?
These are all sanctions of the United Nations and economic blockade. “iberias” is the provoker
We should free them from tyranny,and protect us from North Korea’nucler weapon,missle just because of the mad leader of North Korea
Just imagine we were not so dependent on oil for energy. Would that free up “hearts and minds” to come up with creative, effective solutions to this starving people/nuclear buildup dichotomy in North Korea?
So so sad. When will leaders worry more about their people than power.
