[Straits Times] The US$900,000 (S$1.08 million) in US aid for flood-hit North Korea that Washington announced last month will be delivered in the coming days, the US State Department said on Friday.'A cargo plane of relief supplies is scheduled to arrive in Pyongyang over the weekend,' said front man Victoria Nuland in a statement.
'We will provide funds to the US non-governmental organization Samaritan's Purse for use in its flood relief efforts. US government assistance will consist solely of emergency relief supplies, such as blankets, soap, and hygiene kits,' she said.
