RoK sends emergency flood aid to DPRK

Seoul (VNA) – The Republic of Korea (RoK) on August 23 made the first delivery of 7.1 billion won (close to 7.5 million USD) worth of emergency aid to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to help the country recover from severe flood damage.

About 40 truckloads of instant noodles, blankets, emergency kits and mineral water were delivered to the border town of Kaesong via a reconnected road in the western section of the Korean Peninsula.

The aid shipment will be completed by the end of this month, RoK’s Yonhap news agency reported.

Devastating floods are believed to have destroyed close to 14 percent of DPRK farmland, leaving more than 300 people dead and missing, and 300,000 people homeless. An estimated 46,580 homes of 88,400 families were either destroyed or damaged by the floods.-Enditem
