Food Crisis in North Korean
Due to the lack of large donations since October, the WFP has been forced to halt various food supplies to large numbers of the 6.5 million beneficiaries in North Korea classed as most vulnerable.
...Because its stocks are exhausted, the WFP has stopped providing vegetable oil to 1.5 million old people, children, pregnant and nursing women since April.
From this month, it is halting the distribution of pulses to 1.2 million children and woman and in June it will suspend cereal supplies to 2.1 million primary school children, elderly people and poor urban households.
