UN: North Korea on the verge of starvation

180
The UN says that North Korea, which is regularly experiencing food shortages, will face the lowest harvest in five years this year. Experts call sanctions one of the reasons that seriously hit the country's economy.





This year, North Korea’s crop is expected to fall to its lowest level in five years, leading to severe malnutrition and starvation among 40% of the population, as drought and poor irrigation system overlap with the difficult economic situation, which is already unsuccessful against the backdrop of sanctions imposed on her. The report was provided by experts of the UN Food Program.

10 million people need urgent help


In its latest quarterly report, Crop Prospects and the Food Situation, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) stated that the poor harvest of the country's main crops, rice and corn, means that 10,1 million people need urgent help.

Low rainfall and irrigation problems from mid-April to mid-July, a critical period for crop development, affected rice and corn crops.

- noted in the FAO.

The report, which covers supply and demand for crops around the world and identifies countries that need external food assistance, does not disclose detailed estimates of output.

North Korea is experiencing long-term problems with food shortages - the year 1994 turned out to be especially critical for the country. In addition, crop shortages are taking place against the backdrop of the DPRK's attempt to contain the spread of African swine fever after confirming the first case in May.

The situation is known for several months


The Food Program report followed earlier U.S. estimates this year that North Korea’s food production last year fell to its lowest level in more than a decade due to drought, typhoons and floods.

South Korea pledged to provide 50 000 tons of rice to its northern neighbor through the United States World Food Program (WFP). However, according to Seoul officials, the delivery of goods was delayed due to the slow reaction of Pyongyang amid stalled inter-Korean dialogue and denuclearization talks with the United States.

In July, the official news agency KCNA of the North announced a campaign to mitigate the effects of drought by digging canals and wells, installing pumps and using people and vehicles to deliver water to the fields.

However, despite the food crisis, North Korea ordered the United Nations to reduce the number of its employees that it deploys in the country for assistance programs, citing its "politicization by hostile forces."

At the same time, it is worth noting that such warnings, published with enviable regularity, are mostly an exaggeration, and although there is a shortage of food in the country, it is not as significant as the UN claims.

            Trump got out of his skin to sanction the ban on the departure of Koreans abroad.
            Trump went out of his way to stop their labor exploitation. Just at that time, we were building the Zenit Arena, and the whole city (including myself) saw how Koreans were treated worse than animals, real slavery.

              Koreans in Russia are the highest paid builders. An acquaintance said that his wife's company had tried everyone. But Tajiks, Russians, Ukrainians are not construction specialists. The Koreans urged the leadership: "the job is done. Come on." I can't imagine that the owner will specifically mock the Korean. But the Chinese have higher staff requirements. I saw how instantly the Chinese fired translators; Russian, Chinese and Tajik women, having doubted their qualifications. Friends visiting the Taiwanese plant "Delta Electronics" in China were horrified to watch the competition between Chinese assemblers and robots. In their opinion, no Russian is capable of withstanding the Chinese working conditions.

                  The North Korean costs the employer more expensive than Russian, Ukrainians or Tajiks. Each state has its own tax system. In the DPRK, avoiding taxes is difficult. In France, the income from highly paid citizens is perhaps a percentage higher than for Korean builders. There is probably no such free-ship like in Russia. In Russia, Koreans were hired for hard work. In Russia, it is not customary to pay for qualifications.

        I don't understand why we are participating in the DPRK food blockade? What prevents us from spitting on bans and giving Koreans food? Let them have a closed country, but you can find how they pay for food ... To persecute Koreans with hunger (supporting the initiatives of the Americans), and then watch them bow to McDonald's is not the best way out ...

      I was not in the DPRK, I did not see with my own eyes what was happening there. But if there people starve to death, then the North Koreans must unite with South Korea and not be fooled. One people - one Korea.
      However, there is one caveat that must be considered. China is opposed to the unification of the two Koreas. He does not need a single strong Korea under the auspices of the United States. If we support the unification, we will directly enter into a confrontation with China. Therefore, information about hunger is apparently true, but who organized this hunger? To whom is it profitable to break the emerging alliance of Russia with China. Of course, the United States. Conclusion: the DPRK people need help, but there should be no place for poaching in our seas, even if they are poor, hungry North Koreans, because such provocations can also be part of the devilish game of the US government.

        Why do you think China will be against it? There are no territorial disputes between them. Southerners are already allies of the United States. As a "buffer" zone to have the DPRK? Not so powerful "buffer". But to have in the neighbors two states that are de jure in a state of war and one of them possesses nuclear weapons, and the other may well offer the States to keep it. Here, oddly enough, Japan may be against. They must unite and declare the Korean Peninsula a nuclear-free zone. And that's all. Elections will be held, families will be reunited, and this is a very important moment for Koreans. And all the neighbors around will only be fine. And to us and China. Japan will only have to fight harder for its position as a regional superpower. Because the United Korea will be a serious force! good

              ". US occupation forces did not allow the South Korean delegation to the DPRK

              From admins: We did the translation ourselves, because the event was not fundamentally interested in any mainstream media outside of Korea. Belatedly, but still we think that this news is worth remembering in order to understand the situation on the peninsula and then not to ask those surprised by the question.

              The plans for the South Koreans to travel to Sinijia for a joint South and North Korean inspection of railway conditions in the north were frozen after the UN command refused to grant permission.

              The position of the South Korean government is that this project does not constitute an area subject to UN or US sanctions against North Korea. Critics expressed their views, stating that Washington’s intervention in inter-Korean cooperation to fulfill the conditions of the 27th anniversary of the Panmunzhomsk Declaration reached a point of violation of sovereignty. "Commander of the UN forces" coquettishly called the commander of the US occupation forces in Korea.

              According to reports on August 29 from several government and other sources familiar with the inter-Korean cooperation efforts in the field of railways, the South Korean government announced its plans for the trip on August 23, but was denied approval of the UN command.

              The original plan was for a train from South Korea (six railcars connected to the locomotive) to leave Seoul Station and head to Sinijia at the far north end of the Kengui (Seoul-Siniju) Railway in North Korea. North Korea and the South are conducting a joint inspection on the North Korean section of the line between Kaesong and Siniyuju. According to the Armistice Agreement (1953), the UN command has the authority to grant or refuse permission to individuals and objects passing through the military demarcation line (DMZ).
              The US government slows down inter-Korean relations, hiding behind a sign of UN command.

              As a formal reason for refusing permission, the South Korean government did not meet the deadline for prior notice. Authorities are required to notify 48 hours in advance of plans to go through MDL in any direction and 24 hours ahead of schedule via the hotline for “transit plans”.
              Given the “prior notice deadline” question that was previously considered more flexible in light of political conditions or urgency, many observers say the grounds for the ban are just excuses.

              “In fact, the permission of the UN command was formal, and the practice was to replace it with a notification from the South Korean military,” said a source familiar with the normal passage of South Korean personnel through DMZ after the opening of the Kaesong industrial complex in 2004.

              “The only conclusion you can reach is that the US government is taking a big step because it wants to stop this project,” the source said. The UN command did not respond to relevant requests from the editorial office of Hankøre.
              If approved, the South Korean train would travel North a second time after the Korean War

              According to sources close to the joint inspection project for the North Korean section of the Gyeongyu line, the South and North Korean authorities planned to form an inspection team consisting mainly of representatives of the railways on both sides (including KORAIL and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to the south), attaching six wagons trains to the South Korean locomotive (including a conference, sleeping car and wagons for fuel and water) and catch a train at Seoul Station via MDL to Kaesong, Pyongyang and finally Sinyiu.

              In the North Korean branch, North Korean railway workers were supposed to join the train, and the North Korean locomotive was supposed to replace the South Korean at the head of six South Korean wagons - this was an adjustment taking into account the difficulties that South Korean engineers are facing in the North due to various communication and signaling systems.

              A means of conducting joint verification is to use a real train. Historically, the joint inspection would be the second example of a South Korean train going to the end of the Sinijiju line, since the railways of the two sides were divided on September 11, 1945.

              One of the previous test runs of the South Korean train from Seoul to Sinuya was after an agreement was signed in the Joint Declaration of October 4, 2007 to use the Gyeongui line to send the joint inter-Korean welcoming team to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. (The plan to send the welcome squad by train was not implemented, since inter-Korean relations worsened after the arrival of the administration of Lee Myung-bak).

              The Importance of Joint Rail Cooperation without Violating UN Sanctions

              Strategically, the inspectorate would have had a strong symbolic impact, sending a powerful message of both sides' commitment to rail cooperation with the global community, without violating UN or US sanctions against North Korea. Even as a one-time event, a train traveling all the way from Seoul Station to Shiniyuju will accelerate marked progress in cooperation between the Korean Railways at a time when sanctions are hampering the immediate efforts to modernize the North Korean section of the railway.

              In a declaration in Panmunjom on April 27, South Korean President Moon Jae In and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed to "take practical steps to connect and modernize railways and roads on the eastern transport corridor, as well as between Seoul and Siniju."

              President Moon also described the connection of railways and roads in his address to National Liberation on August 15 as “the beginning of a joint prosperity on the Korean Peninsula,” adding that his “goal is to hold a ceremony for the connection of railways and roads throughout the year. as stated in the Panmunjom Declaration. "

              "UN Command" does not name a specific reason for refusal

              The UN command reacted on August 30 by sending a message to the press service of the Ministry of National Defense, asking to understand that the UN command was denied permission to joint inspections of the railways between the North Korean cities of Keson and Manzan. The report also confirms that the UN command requested "more specific details" regarding the inspections.

              The final note in the message emphasized the commitment of the UN command to the Korean Armistice Agreement and expressed its will to continue cooperation with the South Korean authorities in support of diplomatic efforts. The report did not mention the reasons why the "UN command" did not allow South Korean government officials to travel through the DMZ.

          The diplomatic mission said that the ceremony of receiving humanitarian aid from the Russian Federation, which was attended by Russian Consul General Yuri Bochkarev and an employee of the Pyongyang branch of the World Food Program international organization, took place last weekend (March 2–3) in the port in Chongjin.
          “Only half of the humanitarian aid was unloaded from Chonjin (from the Ynbon-2 vessel), the rest of it was sent to the city of Hynnam,” the report said. “The grain will be used to make cookies and nutritious mixtures for children and pregnant women.”
          As REGNUM reported, on February 11, 2019, the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs, Konstantin Kosachev, during a meeting with the DPRK ambassador to Moscow, Kim Hyun Zhong, said that Moscow could provide Pyongyang with 50 thousand tons of wheat as humanitarian aid.

      In principle, the Americans do not refuse help in such cases.

      Especially when Eun threatened them with vigorous missiles.

      Rather, even before that. When North Korea did not have nuclear weapons, the United States was among the three countries with the largest volumes of food supplies to the DPRK. In total, from 1995 to 2011, 12 million 390 thousand tons of food was delivered to the DPRK. South Korea supplied 3 million 314 thousand tons, China - 3 million 15 thousand tons, the USA - 2 million 400 thousand tons. All other countries supplied 3 million 661 thousand tons

      Poachers are one famine artificially created at the initiative of the United States in the North. Korea is different

      Do not hang all dogs in the USA. If this year there was a catastrophic drought and productivity fell below the plinth, are Americans to blame for this too? Moreover, sanctions do not apply to grain and other products, except delicacies. Even the restriction on the supply of fuel provides for an increase if this fuel is necessary in order to stop hunger


      Quote: Sergey Karasev
      The famine, comparable in scale to 1994, is likely to happen, but we will never know its true scale. The DPRK is a very closed country, so we will proceed from rumors, gossip and high-likly.

      That's for sure. Even now, after 20-25 years, we do not know the exact numbers. Many organizations. t.h. and international estimates of hunger losses ranging from 1 to 3 million people (up to 15% of the population). Data from the DPRK authorities - 10 people died of starvation. DPRK authorities data downplayed 000-100 times

      Quote: 1536
      I was not in the DPRK, I did not see with my own eyes what was happening there. But if there people starve to death, then the North Koreans must unite with South Korea and not be fooled. One people - one Korea.

      The people may not mind uniting. And who is asking him. Here are the top government officials who lose everything - these are unlikely to want to unite. Even in times, years, and famine it was not, although the coupon system existed and high-ranking officials (by no means the first and second lines) received 700 grams of rice per day. Intelligence officers - 560 grams of rice and 240 grams of corn each, the military - 420 grams of rice and 210 grams of corn in the capital, and 280 grams of rice and 490 grams of corn in the province.
      Workers in the capital, respectively, 360 + 180, in the province - 240 + 420 (for heavy work, respectively, 480 + 240 in the capital and 320 + 560 in the province.
      For July 2019, rations were averaged and reduced to only 311 g
      Most likely, this ration does not apply to high-ranking officials, secret services and the military.

      Quote: 1536
      However, there is one caveat that must be considered. China is opposed to the unification of the two Koreas. He does not need a single strong Korea under the auspices of the United States. If we support the unification, we will directly enter into a confrontation with China. Therefore, information about hunger is apparently true, but who organized this hunger? To whom is it profitable to break the emerging alliance of Russia with China. Of course, the United States. Conclusion: the DPRK people need help, but there should be no place for poaching in our seas, even if they are poor, hungry North Koreans, because such provocations can also be part of the devilish game of the US government.

      Under whose auspices will a united Korea be yet unknown. The living standards of South Korea will fall significantly and, moreover, for a long time. Pull up neighbors (25 million) to their level, despite the fact that in the north the salary is about $ 10 per month compared to salaries and everything related in the South, it will take years, if not decades. Won the GDR and the FRG. It seems that there wasn’t such a huge difference as between North and South Korea, but anyway. 35 years have passed, and the standard of living in the eastern lands of Germany differs from the level in the western lands ...
      All dogs should not be hung on the Americans. They do not know how to arrange such droughts in certain areas, they do not know how.
      So you conclude. The people need help. So until 2011 they regularly helped. Until Eun began to test his nuclear weapons and missiles. Help how? Again humanitarian aid from all neighbors, the UN and the USA? So the same US is unlikely to want to help after the games of Un with missiles and charges. Poaching how to lime? Only one begs. Do not give any quotas and licenses, which means that any actions of fishermen in the waters of Russia should be stopped by the sinking of these fishing boats? Or see another option? When soldering in 311 grams, you want to eat. And you’ll go to steal fish from your neighbors (to poach). They don’t go to the Japanese. Not quickly they’ll wind their tail, but we ...

      Quote: HAM
      First, get choked with sanctions, and then yell about the starving people, as it is in American ...

      In fact, food sanctions were not concerned. Unless only delicacies, such as lobsters, red fish, caviar. There were no very severe restrictions on fuel. But the supply of equipment and materials that can be used by the nuclear missile industry - yes, there were severe restrictions. Moreover, before the start of missile and nuclear tests, many sanctions did not apply at all.

      Quote: Incvizitor
      As it is in the West, to impose sanctions against the country and then declare that there is famine, the UD is moral, no better than the Nazi fascists.

      We also voted for sanctions. And we are not better than the Nazis? Or let them sit on their heads, but support the sanctions no-no. After all, Eun is against the United States, which means by definition we are a friend, comrade and brother ...

      Nothing new; hunger is the norm in the countries of victorious communism.
      In the USSR, they managed to arrange 2 terrible famines on the European continent since the Middle Ages, managed to destroy agriculture, and in such a way that Russia turned from the world's largest food exporter into the world's largest importer.
      In pre-capitalist China, the time of Mao had a similar story.

Do not find 20 rubles for housing and communal services in a 3-room apartment in the USSR? In the USSR, there were temporary attempts to solve the housing problem. In 1970 and late 1980, workers were allowed to build their own housing. Dolgoprudny at the beginning of 1970 and Noginsk at the end of 1980. The problem is that by this time the government has bureaucratized and tackled its problems. So the construction management considered it below their dignity. Yeltsin drank bitter as head of the Gosstroy, but managed to take power when he had a chance. In principle, a similar thing is happening now. For example, in Lobny, some government officials were drawn into a conflict with the plant. And based on the fact that the price of their land plot with the advent of an industrial building 25 meters from the main railroad track allegedly after 2013 fell in price, they are trying to demolish the plant, which has grown its area by 2014 times since 8.

                          Quite right! Moreover, the minimum number of meters for queuing up for housing was determined by the company where you worked. At our plant, in the 80s, it was 5,5 sq / m. per person. If you have more, then no one will put you in line. Somewhere it was more, up to 8 sq / m. even came from "communist" bounty.

                          With the "cooperative" too, everything was far from easy. There, in line, also had to get there. Because there was a sufficient number of citizens who had savings (polar explorers, shift workers, sailors, etc.), but there was no question of being put in a "queue" for housing. Of course, it was possible to get up, but none of the "offices" where these comrades worked built their own homes. Therefore, wait for the "free" state. lived. the area was there until his death. Therefore, and these people were sufficiently wealthy, at that time, they tried to join the "cooperative". And from them, too, was formed QUEUE!

          But in tsarist Russia there was no famine?
          On such a scale, nothing like that was even close. There were outbreaks of epidemics caused by poor nutrition from crop failure, but even they did not bring such damage to the people.
          In Ossetia and under Putin, quinoa is also added to the pies.
          which is already there, all of Russia eats breadcrumbs, hedgehogs, and pasture, in any case, every Bandera patriot who is independent is sure of this.
          In addition, in the USSR, families usually had at least 3 children.
          in Afghanistan, Zambia and Somalia in general at least 10 children give birth, they need to be equal!
          How many women in Russia can feed such a horde of children?
          You see, there is a direct correlation between the standard of living and the number of children. The higher the well-being, the more people have opportunities for self-realization, in addition to family, and this is completely normal. The planet is already overpopulated, due to the development of digital technologies, unemployment will inevitably grow, why do you need a high birth rate?

            A friend has 2 families. One in Russia is one son. In the 40th year of his life, in about 2005, he started a second in Afghanistan, where he already has 5 children. Perhaps this indicates the unpromising modern lifestyle in Russia.

            In general, sociologists criticizing Mendeleev’s erroneous calculations about the growth of the Russian people to 500 million in a not very distant time noted that already in 1900 the Russians were actually threatened with extinction. In the cities, incurable diseases raged, the average duration of Russians was only 20 years. My grandmother talked about hunger both during the reign of the tsar and in the first decades of Soviet rule. The manager of the landowner beat her brother to death for trying to bring his sister several potatoes from the field (his brother worked only for food). It’s just that the tsarist bureaucrats did not care how much they died of hunger in the Tambov region. And now it’s not customary to scold the modern system and its forerunner.

        You are not quite in the subject. The famine in tsarist Russia was permanent, and under the Soviets the problem was finally solved, after the Second World War. And the development of virgin lands, and the notorious corn - these were all feverish attempts to provide the whole country with food. Note - do not sell for currency to the West, as in the case of the tsar (and even now), but also to buy in the West in order to raise their own per capita consumption to a normal level (including fodder crops for cattle, which was bad in tsarist Russia in general) ..

      At the same time, it is worth noting that such warnings, published with enviable regularity, are mostly an exaggeration, and although there is a shortage of food in the country, it is not as significant as the UN claims.

      Trump has a great opportunity to build relationships and not keep his country in fear of a nuclear strike. Just remove at least part of the sanctions regarding food and domestic needs. It will be ten times cheaper. The reverse policy will never bring a positive effect for his country, on the contrary, only deterioration and a lot of problems. You can’t make people love something by starving them and doing nasty things.

Now in Russia, science is about rice and wheat in the corral, so even Metsegora claims to be ready for dramatic changes in relations between the United States and the DPRK.
