KaneStar's video: Rare footage inside rural North Korea during Red Cross food aid during 1997 flooding and famine

Rare footage inside rural North Korea in 1997 during an International Red Cross mission to deliver food supplies to flood and famine ravaged parts of the country. Footage shows some flooded fields and rural villages accepting food aid. From wikipedia: "The North Korean Famine (Korean: 조선기근), also known as the Arduous March or the March of Suffering[6] (고난의 행군), was a period of mass starvation together with a general economic crisis from 1994 to 1998 in North Korea.[7] During this time there was an increase in defection from North Korea which peaked towards the end of the famine period. The famine stemmed from a variety of factors. Economic mismanagement and the loss of Soviet support caused food production and imports to decline rapidly. A series of floods and droughts exacerbated the crisis. The North Korean government and its centrally planned system proved too inflexible to effectively curtail the disaster. North Korea attempted to obtain aid and commercial opportunities, but failed to receive initial attention.[6][7][8] Estimates of the death toll vary widely. Out of a total population of approximately 22 million, somewhere between 240,000 and 3,500,000 North Koreans died from starvation or hunger-related illnesses, with the deaths peaking in 1997.[9][10] A 2011 U.S. Census Bureau report estimated the number of excess deaths from 1993 to 2000 to be between 500,000 and 600,000.[11] "
