"FAMINE IN NORTH KOREA"
North Korean orphans suffering from waterborne diseases wait to be examined for possible signs of malnutrition in the area damaged by recent floods and typhoons in the South Hwanghae province September 29, 2011. North Korea has appealed for food aid this year, saying extreme weather, rising global commodities prices and sanctions imposed for its nuclear programme have created a hunger crisis. Devastating summer floods compounded the emergency, wiping out crops and demolishing homes, officials and farmers say. Pictures were taken on a government controlled tour for Reuters Alertnet. |
