North Korea Faces Food Crisis

“Four in ten North Koreans are chronically short of food and further cuts to already minimal rations are expected after the worst harvest in a decade,” Reuters reports.

“Official rations are down to 300 grammes – under 11 ounces – per person per day, the lowest ever for this time of year, the U.N. said following a food security assessment it carried out at Pyongyang’s request from March 29 to April 12.”
