UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - North Korea's tests of unconventional weapons have contributed to a reduction of badly needed food aid, with international donors thinking twice about supplying goods, a U.N. envoy said on Monday.
Viti Muntarbhorn, the U.N. human rights investigator for North Korea told a news conference that the number of people getting U.N. food aid had dropped to 13,000 from 6.5 million a year ago. But much of this decline was due to restrictions from Pyongyang, which denied access and monitoring.
