Voice of America: FAO: N. Korea Food Distribution Dangerously Low

Food distribution in North Korea has dropped to dangerous levels, according to a United Nation's food agency.

The country is distributing an average of 250 grams of daily food rations per person, a 21 percent decline from a three-year average, the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said Monday.

The figure is less than half of the minimum amount recommended by the United Nations.

North Korea has been cutting food distribution since early July when it reduced the daily food rations to 310 grams per person. Later, the amount was reduced to the current level.

Update: North Korea reduced its food rations again in July, says FAO -- UPI
