North Korea has seen a devastating food shortage in the mid to late 1990's from natural disasters and international isolation. This caused an estimated minimum of 200,000 to three million deaths.

North Korea's food shortage drew the world's attention at the time. Once North Korea pleaded for food support to the international society in 1995, the World Food Programme, multilateral support organizations and the global community including South Korea worked to provide sufficient food to North Korea.

However, North Korea's food shortage continues today despite the truth that it has been well over 10 years since the global community's food support began.

The issue is that the North Korean government is more concentrated on military development more than self-sustainable food support.

Hardline policies toward South Korea including semiyearly nuclear experiments and long-distance rocket firing are the greatest reasons for the food shortage.

Recently UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon announced that a third of the North Korean population are suffering from lack of food and raised his deep concerns on the North Korean human rights issues.

However, as sanctions against North Korea are still in effect due to their nuclear experiments, concerns on North Korea's food shortage are heightened as extensive food support is not possible under these circumstances.
