FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The flooding represents a challenge for Kim Jong-un, new leader of a country
which has grappled with severe food shortages since a famine in the 1990s
killed hundreds of thousands.
Following a visit to the country, UN agencies estimated last November that
three million people would need food aid this year.
Widespread deforestation, to collect firewood or clear land for agriculture,
has made the impoverished nation increasingly prone to serious flooding
which disrupts agriculture.
On Saturday the official news agency said a week-long flood earlier in July
had left 88 dead, injured 134, and made almost 63,000 people homeless.
More than 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of crops were washed away or
submerged, with roads and factories destroyed, it said.
On Sunday state media reported strong winds and heavy rain were battering
parts of the country, including the capital Pyongyang. The official news
agency predicted that “most regions will face huge damage”.
The United States reached a deal in February this year to offer the North
240,000 tonnes of food in return for a freeze on nuclear and missile tests.
But the plan was scrapped after Pyongyang’s failed rocket launch in April,
seen by the US and its allies as an attempted ballistic missile test.
