A United Nations team will visit flood-hit areas of North Korea to consider possible aid, a UN official says after Pyongyang reported scores dead and tens of thousands homeless.
The country's official news agency on Tuesday published photographs which appeared to show large swathes of submerged land, and people wading through thigh-high water or taking refuge on rooftops.
UN officials already based in the North will visit the two worst-affected counties "to see what help if any the UN country team can provide", said UNICEF's Bangkok-based regional spokesman Christopher de Bono. |
