So just who will be effected by these sanction's? Many have seen the ramification's that have trickled down to the most vulnerable in this conflict, those are, the citizen's of North Korea. Those of us who are familiar with the Korean famine in the 90's will know that this issue still exist's to this day. So, how will aid, assistance and support to North Korea be effected by the sanction's imposed?
Humanitarian aid to North Korea has been a vital source of aid to it's poorest citizen's. One aspect, that media seem to cover, which continues to cloud the topic on food aid, are the tension's between Democratic People's Republic of Korea, neighboring countries and the United State's . Due to North Korea's missile program imposing sanction's on the DPRK has further isolated to the country and effected humanitarian aid.
In the past month's international sanction's on DPRK have hit humanitary funding according to five United Nation's agencies. This indicates that a stem to food aid funding to North Korea could threaten the humanitarian operations in the country. Last year the UN reported that nearly a third of all children in North Korea are showing signs of dwarfism due to malnutrition and that only 40 percent of the $198 million they require for their humanitarian activities had been donated. The UN also estimates that about one-third of North Korean children under five are chronically malnourished.
