Above is a video of the issue of malnourishment of children in North Korea. The Reuters AlertNet humanitarian news service shot the video in South Hwanghae, a farming province in the country's heartland.  This malnourishment is due to the major flooding and harsh winter that has occurred. The failed harvests have led to major food shortages in the country. The World Food Program has was that it only has 30% of the funding needed for relief to reach the 3.5 million of North Korea's most vulnerable people. It was estimated in March that a quarter of the countries 24 million inhabitants needed food aid and that one third of all the children were chronically malnourished. Seoul has abandoned their offer to provide emergency flood aid this week claiming that Pyongyang (the area affected) has not responded. There is some suspicion that Pyongyang could be hoarding crops to make sure there is enough food next year. The governing People's Committee has said that the harsh winter destroyed 65% of South Hwanghae's barley, wheat and potato crops. 80% of the maize harvest has been destroyed by flooding and typhoons.
