N Korea impoverished but not starved: UN Food Programme head
UN World Food Programme chief David Beasley, who was on a four-day trip to North Korea, said that the nation is impoverished but starvation is not as high as it was during the famine in the 1990s. "I see a country that is working hard to achieve food security and good nutrition... [but] there are significant challenges ahead," Beasley said.
