Women walk with umbrellas during torrential rains, Wednesday, August 5, 2020, in Pyongyang. North Korea says torrential rains have lashed the country, prompting outside worries about possible big damages in the impoverished country.
Kim’s latest visit could be seen an effort to bolster an image of a leader caring about public livelihoods at a time when the North’s economic woes are believed to have worsened due to the coronavirus pandemic. It forced North Korea to close its border with China, its biggest trading partner, in January. Extensive flooding would only add to the North’s economic troubles.
KCNA said Kim visited the scene and ordered shelters to be arranged for displaced people and residents to be supplied with food grain from his own reserves.Kim also said officials will be dispatched to direct works to build 800 model houses in the town and that the army will be mobilized to rebuild roads and other infrastructure there with local residents.
In Seoul, Unification Ministry spokeswoman Cho Hyesil told reporters that South Korea maintains its policy to push for humanitarian cooperation with North Korea on issues that are not political such as natural disasters. She said South Korea is monitoring flood damage in North Korea but didn’t say whether South Korea would offer aid.

How shocking that out of the 12 photos included in this article, a total of 0 of them show Kim Jong-un, alive and well? It's been four months since an independent observer documented him being alive.
The Chairman, had a miraculous recovery.
Which one is he? The one on the left?
WOW. Kim Jong Un looks as compassionate and caring at JoeBiden , compared to The_Yeti that's probably sucking up cheeseburgers right about now.
Why to call him 'leader' and not 'Dictator'?
SEEMS TRUMP CAN'T DO WHAT KIM JONG UN CAN.
Damn if only those Korean females weren't wearing masks so I could examine them better. Bet there's mad pretty korea females over there I don't even know about
I thought he was basically dead
He's probably concerned it will make food grow.
Donald Trump would just blame the governors
Is he in human form or an apparition?
I pray that one day the North Koreans will be free. 🙏🏽🥺
Did Kim order food for anyone else or just himself?
It seems strange to report on this AP.
