Flooding Kills Nearly 100 North Koreans

Flooding in North Korea has now killed at least eighty-eight people.

Tens of thousands have been left homeless and more than  75,000 acres have been devastated by the floods, which began on July 18.

Much of the area, that has been so hammered, is North Korea's farmland.

The country already struggles to feed it's twenty-four million people, and this disaster will only guarantee that even more will starve.

Threat of disease is also at a very heightened state, due to the floods.

North Korea has repeatedly rejected and broken deals that would bring in food and medical supplies from other countries, in exchange for dismantling it's nuclear and long range missile programs.
