The WFP says more than 10-million North Koreans are in urgent need after crop output plunged to a decade low in 2018. On Monday, the Red Cross said 2019’s early drought is threatening the summer harvest, adding to the crisis. The North has fired two missiles and multiple projectiles in recent weeks, in what South Korean President Moon Jae-in called a calibrated protest against Washington.

The source said there was a “sense of crisis” brewing within the administration ahead of a key parliamentary election in 2020 amid the stalled nuclear talks and lacklustre progress in inter-Korean initiatives. But the North’s Maeri propaganda website brushed off the South’s aid plan as “empty words” and “far-fetched mockery”.
