UNSC gives green light to Christian organization to give baby products and pediatric supplies to the North
- 5 years ago
The UN Security Council's sanctions committee for North Korea has allowed a Crhtistian organization to send more humanitarian goods to the North.
The committee greenlighted the sanctions exemption for the Mennonite Central Committee in North America to deliver goods for six months.
Ten items.... including baby products, clean water, and medical supplies,... will be sent to children's hospitals.
The organization also plans to deliver medical supplies during a monitoring visit in May.
This is the third time that a U.S. organization has been given the green light to travel to the North... since U.S. Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, said late last year... that Washington will review its policies on travel bans for humanitarian reasons.
