South Korea to send aid to flood-hit North
By Jon Herskovitz
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea will send emergency aid to its poorer northern neighbour after floods left hundreds of North Koreans dead or missing, damaged thousands of buildings and displaced more than 300,000 people, a report said Thursday.
North Korea, which has suffered chronic food shortages for years, said floods have ravaged crops in its agricultural bread basket and left more than 11 percent of its paddy and maize fields submerged, buried or swept away.
