North Korean children eat biscuit rations

Elementary school kids in Kangwon Province of North Korea eat rationed biscuits eagerly. An official of the World Food Program (WFP) who recently visited North Korea told a press conference in Beijing on Monday that North Korea is meeting with its worst situation since it suffered a severe famine four years ago because the country is expected to harvest only two-thirds of required grains due to the shortage of fertilizer and a spring drought.
