Australia’s ABC News has video smuggled out by an activist showing widespread famine in North Korea, including filthy children begging in the streets and evidence that even soldiers are not getting enough to eat. Given the source and lack of media access to the DPRK, it’s impossible to know for sure how accurate the portrayal is. But it’s quite plausible. The regime has been under international sanctions for two decades, had a massive famine in the 1990s, and demanded the halt of international food relief in 2002.
