UN reaffirms food assistance to North Korea through 2024

The United Nations has recommitted to offering food assistance to North Korea through December 2024.

The U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) noted its continued support in an undated document posted to the organization's website outlining persistent humanitarian challenges faced by the authoritarian nation's citizens.

"The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea continues to face a wide range of challenges, despite the fact that for several years, the country’s food supply has been remarkably stable," WFP wrote on its website.
