The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on Wednesday announced that it has reduced the amount it is seeking in support funds for North Korea’s flood-hit regions by around 32 percent, citing a lack of funding.

An updated operation report in July said the IFRC would need to spend CHF7,421,586
