EU to give food aid to North Korea
[KUNA] The European Union...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms... will provide emergency food aid to more than half a million people at risk of dying from serious malnutrition in  North Korea, amid growing fears of a worsening hunger crisis.The European Commission announced here Monday that the objective of the 10 million euro aid package is to lift around 650,000 people, mainly in the Northern and Eastern provinces of the country, out of the hunger zone during the most difficult period of the worst year for food production in recent times. The terms for delivering the food assistance to North Korea are unprecedented, with strict monitoring procedures in place, noted the brief statement. Posted by: Fred 2011-07-05 |
