India contributes US$ 1 mil. for WFP's humanitarian projects in N. Korea
- 5 years ago
India has contributed one million U.S. dollars to support the World Food Programme's humanitarian projects in North Korea.
The WFP provided over 19-hundred tons worth of food to Pyeongyang in September,... up 4-hundred-80 tons on-month.
Aid was received that month by just under 585-thousand people.
But it's estimated that 10 million, or around 40 percent of the North's population, are in dire need of food,... because last year, Pyeongyang had its smallest crop harvest since 2008.
South Korea planned to send 50-thousand tons of rice through the WFP,... but the regime turned it down.
