UN warns sanctions starving North Korea children to death

This is on the order of the man who murdered his parents, then petitioned the court for mercy on the ground that he was an orphan.

 Children’s Fund has warned that hundreds of thousands of children could starve as a result of sanctions on North Korea. UNICEF said the inability of humanitarian staff to deliver aid there had put many children in lethal malnutrition condition.

Manuel Fontaine, director of UNICEF emergency programs worldwide, said Tuesday that an estimated 60,000 children face lethal starvation in North Korea mainly due to economic sanctions imposed over the country’s missile and nuclear programs.

"We are projecting that at some point during the year 60,000 children will become severely malnourished. This is the malnutrition that potentially can lead to death. It’s protein and calorie malnutrition," said Fontaine, adding, "So the trend is worrying, it’s not getting any better."

The UNICEF also estimated that some 200,000 North Korean children are now in acute malnutrition category.

#10  Anyone with enough brain cells to comprehend light would know that lifting sanctions on food and heating oil would not stop the famine.

Suet face would feed his army and his apparatiks.

#9  It's always America's fault, no matter what.

The blood is on North Korean hands, if we don't cut off their country from imports, they'll never come to the table to negotiate. But surprise, all the UN wants to do is blame America. Because it's emotionally fulfilling to them.

#8  The dispensing of human meat products should provide additional evidence of the sanctions effectiveness. I'm withholding judgement until I seen the first tins.

#4  ...Sanctions haven't killed a single child. Kimmie's behavior and actions, however, have.
