The Famine Throughout North Korea

Food Production in North Korea.

"More than 6 million people in North Korea urgently need food aid because of substantial falls in domestic production, food imports and international aid, the United Nations said on Friday. In a report released after a joint mission to the North, where a famine in the 1990s killed an estimated 1 million people, three United Nations agencies said North Korea's public distribution system would run out of food at the beginning of the lean season that runs between May and July."

Effect of the Famine in North Korea.

"Man can and must prevent the tragedy of famine in the future instead of merely trying with pious regret to salvage the human wreckage of the famine, as he has so often done in the past."
