| Famine-struck N Koreans ’eating children’ |
| 2003-06-09 |
| So where is the outrage over this? Cannibalism is increasing in North Korea following another poor harvest and a big cut in international food aid... [snipped, rerun from yesterday] Note that they don't mention the biggest reason, the brutal NK government. The WFP says Japan provided 500,000 tons of food aid in 2001, making it the biggest donor, but sent nothing last year. Food aid from America has been cut from 340,000 tons in 2001 to 40,000 tons so far this year. Washington has pledged to send a further 60,000 tons if Pyongyang lifts restrictions on the operations of agencies such as the WFP. Yup, it's our fault that they are eating their children. |
