North Korea floods: Tens of thousands displaced
Aid agencies have warned that North Korea is facing a humanitarian disaster after tens of thousands of people were displaced by flooding, BBC reports.
According to the source, the UN and the International Red Cross say the government has reported 133 deaths with nearly 400 people missing and homes and crops destroyed.
Rescue teams have been unable to reach some of the worst-hit areas.
North Korea already has chronic food shortages and is heavily dependent on foreign aid to feed its population.
The flooding, triggered by the recent Typhoon Lionrock, comes as North Korea faces global anger for conducting its fifth nuclear test.
