In South Korea on Tuesday, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) decided to resume the distribution of medical aid to North Korea - financed by the South Korean government. The reason? Because of the assistance calls for malnourished North Korean children.
A Senior South Korean Unification Ministry official spoke to reporters on Tuesday, and stated the distribution of medical aid was because it "was base upon our belief that purely humanitarian support for the you and vulnerable in North Korea should continue".
The W.H.O. group sent $13 million worth of medicine and medical supplies to the North, but the supplies had to stop when there was a sinking of a South Korean warship in March 2010. The sinking was caused by the North when they torpedoed the ship, and because of this, they killed 46 sailors.
Although South Korean is still frustrated that North Korea remains tight with its nuclear program, South Korea admitted that it should not be punishing the citizens for the government's deeds. It's been recorded that last month, six million North Koreans were in urgent of food aid and medical supplies.
South Korea found that sending supplies is super urgent because aid organizations warned that malnutrition had plagued two generations in North Korea, and would have a huge consequence if the North and South Korea were to reunite one day. South Korea since then has been sending money to help spread the medical aids to all persons in need in North Korea.
