North Korea faces famine as relief funds dwindle
North Korea suffers potential famine this summer as donor nations balk at aid to the reclusive regime. The IFRC warns funds are nearly exhausted for feeding 130,000 people while floods last year left 500,000 farmers homeless and 40 percent of arable land unusable. The Red Cross has raised only 1.4 million of a requested 6.5 million.
