Sanctions increase “urgency” of South Korean aid to North: MOU

Seoul says "powerful sanctions resolution" will likely impact women and children

The South Korean Ministry of Unification (MOU) said on Friday that new UN sanctions have increased the need for Seoul to send humanitarian aid to the North.

The comments came in the aftermath of Pyongyang's launch of a ballistic missile over Japan, and a day after the unification ministry said that it will decide next week on plans to send over USD$8 million in aid to the North via international organizations.
