"FAMINE IN NORTH KOREA"

A North Korean farmer on bicycle makes his way from a filed in the area damaged by recent floods and typhoons in the South Hwanghae province September 30, 2011. Isolated North Korea has appealed for food aid following a series of natural shocks it says have starved the country's public food distribution system of supplies. In South Hwanghae province, which traditionally produces about a third of the country's total cereal supply, officials say a savage, long winter wiped out 65 percent of the barley, wheat and potato crops. Then summer floods and storms destroyed 80 percent of the maize harvest, according to the province's governing People's Committee, and may have an impact on the October rice harvest. Pictures were taken on a government controlled tour for Reuters Alertnet.
