Aid agencies working in North Korea have issued a rare joint appeal for increased food donations, warning that millions of vulnerable citizens are living on a knife edge.
The groups, which include Save the Children and the Swiss government's relief agency, say bad weather and livestock disease have hampered domestic production, while high global food and fuel prices are making it harder to import supplies. They fear that unless aid is increased now, it will be too late to support people who are already chronically malnourished through the lean season that begins in May.
Their warning comes days after a United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) assessment found the country was "highly vulnerable to a food crisis", with more than 6 million people in urgent need of international food aid. Today's joint statement highlighted the needs of children and mothers, the elderly, disabled and sickand pointed to a need for healthcare, water and sanitation as well as food.
"We fear there is donor fatigue with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," said Katharina Zellweger, country director for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
"So much with the DPRK boils down to political issues and then you forget the humanitarian principles," she said.
The North has been beset by chronic food problems since the famine that killed hundreds of thousands of its citizens in the 1990s, leaving it heavily reliant on aid.
However, a change of government in the South saw an end to Seoul's "sunshine policy" of freeflowing aid and other countries have become more reluctant to give because of the North's nuclear and missile tests, the shelling of a southern island and the sinking of a southern warship. The North denies attacking the vessel.
Andy Featherstone, the region's director of strategy for Save the Children, said: "We would hope [donors] would review decisions they have taken and be more generous in meeting the appeal [following the WFP assessment]."
Ireland's Concern Worldwide, Belgium's Handicap International and France's Triangle Generation Humanitaire also signed the statement.
The existing WFP scheme has only a third of the funding it needs, and groups say it must be scaled up in any case. The assessment issued last week said heavy rains during last autumn's harvest, a bitter and prolonged winter and a foot and mouth outbreak had damaged food supplies.
Other experts say botched currency and economic reforms have exacerbated the problems. Some critics have also suggested the country could be stockpiling food for next year, because Pyongyang has vowed the North will be fully established as a strong and prosperous nation in 2012.[/quote]

well, this is where the world steps in, does a regime change on NK and gives food to the hungry.
-snip-
Wait, better idea
Why don't they raid another country?
Wow, their citizens rely on aid and the DPRK still wants war with the south?
Also, that sarcastic propaganda is a bit overdone OP.
Gee I'm sure glad that millions are starving because of an aggressive idiot
If he does recieve aid though, he'll think what he's doing is OK and continue
Kim Jong Il is just holding a competition for the BEST KOREAN.
Don't worry UN.
How could he afford that half million dollar donation to the Japanese relief effort when his own people are starving?
That's what happens when you isolate your country from the rest of the world. Good Job Kim you dumbass.
Holy god this is one of the most painfully unfunny topics ever. Please never do this again.

He couldn't. To be honest hundreds, perhaps thousands, starved to death because of his "noble deed". I feel bad for anyone stuck under his rule.

Insanity maybe? It's certainly hard to read him.

There's nothing that's supposed to be funny about it. People actually think this of him, their country, and themselves within the DPRK.
How do they manage to uphold a military of any sort of sustenance?
Best Korea will invade America and share its bountiful feast with the pitiful American people.
How about we get rid of North Korea once and for all and put anthrax in the food supplies?
Seems like that would solve more problems than it would cause.

yeah because that's not an atrocity

yeah because all North Koreans are evil and deserve to die for being born there

Why is the guy in the center holding a Bren?
God damn they need to kick out that ma-.....Best Leader.
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;28886331]How could he afford that half million dollar donation to the Japanese relief effort when his own people are starving?[/QUOTE]
Because he gets his food and shit from Japan.
Wow, this is like Ray Charles trying to give you directions.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;28887301]Why is the guy in the center holding a Bren?[/QUOTE]
More likely to be a Type 99, for the simple fact the Japanese occupied Korea for such a long period of time.

:downs:
Innocent people are starving to death because a country's lack of care towards them. Obviously the only solution is to punish the innocent more by having them die from anthrax.
Boy, you must be retarded and/or ignorant.
[sp] Also, kind of hard to poison their food supplies when they have none. [/sp]
Do I smell North Korean Barbecue?
Oh wait, they have no food. :/
Ever had North Korea food?
[sp]neither have they[/sp]

BRNO exported it a lot, the Bren is actually a Czechoslovak invention.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;28886331]How could he afford that half million dollar donation to the Japanese relief effort when his own people are starving?[/QUOTE]Because he doesn't give a shit about his people. I'd honestly be surprised if he even occasionally remembers that his people are starving to death, absorbed as he is in his luxurious life.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;28887301]Why is the guy in the center holding a Bren?[/QUOTE]
Type 99 probably.

Keep your thoughts to yourself, Heinrich Himmler.

How about we destroy My Little Pony,kill it's director and producers?

Hopefully Kimmy will soon realize that military dominance and power over the region is not worth it when your whole nation is starving.
