121 dead after recent North Korean floods
Floods that swept across parts of impoverished North Korea killed at least 121 people and left 127 missing according to figures reported so far by the government, an aid group operating in the communist country said today.
The acting head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ office in Pyongyang also said that the North Korean government had no plans to launch an international appeal for help after the disaster caused by heavy rains earlier this month.
