"FAMINE IN NORTH KOREA"
A North Korean child suffering from malnutrition rests in a bed in a hospital in Haeju, capital of the South Hwanghae province hit by recent floods and typhoons 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. |
