The South Korean Red Cross has delivered 20 tons of powdered milk to North Korea to assist expecting mothers and young children in the impoverished country.
A group of South Korean Red Cross officials crossed the heavily-armed border Wednesday morning accompanied by two trucks carrying US$138,000 worth of powdered milk.
The aid was delivered to North Korean officials in Kaesong following the communist regime's response in January to accept Seoul's offer last year to send corn, milk and medical supplies. |
