"FAMINE IN NORTH KOREA"
A foreign health volunteer measures child's arm for possible signs of malnutrition in a village damaged by recent floods and typhoons in the South Hwanghae province September 30, 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. |
