Children’s Fund has warned that hundreds of thousands of children could starve as a result of sanctions on
North Korea. UNICEF said the inability of humanitarian staff to deliver aid there had put many children in lethal malnutrition condition.Manuel Fontaine, director of UNICEF emergency programs worldwide, said Tuesday that an estimated 60,000 children face lethal starvation in North Korea mainly due to economic sanctions imposed over the country’s missile and nuclear programs.
"We are projecting that at some point during the year 60,000 children will become severely malnourished. This is the malnutrition that potentially can lead to death. It’s protein and calorie malnutrition," said Fontaine, adding, "So the trend is worrying, it’s not getting any better."
The UNICEF also estimated that some 200,000 North Korean children are now in acute malnutrition category.
