U.S. Offers North Korea Flood Assistance, Considering Food Aid Separately
"The United States has offered North Korea up to $900,000 in emergency flood assistance but has made no decision yet on a broader request for humanitarian food aid for the isolated country, the State Department said on Thursday," Reuters reports. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland "said the flood assistance would not include food, and was considered separately from a standing appeal by North Korea for food aid to offset bad harvests that a U.N. report said earlier this year had left millions hungry," according to the news agency (Quinn, 8/18).
