Food supplies remain dangerously low in North Korea,... where nearly 40-percent of the population is still suffering from malnutrition.
According to the UN's food agency on Tuesday,... more than ten million North Koreans are undernourished and need humanitarian aid.
The World Food Programme, which provides fortified cereals and enriched biscuits to 650-thousand women and children each month,... may have to cut its program due to a lack of funding.
Some donors and companies have been reluctant to fund or get involve in aid programs for North Korea,... although humanitarian work is excluded from sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council.
