Humanitarian aid for the most vulnerable in North Korea has finally cleared monthslong quarantine in the country and is on its way to distribution, a U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF) spokesperson told NK News on Thursday.
This comes after the agency in Oct. 2021 said that sanctions-exempted aid items sent by the agency reached North Korea’s western Nampho port after being stuck for almost a year in Dalian, China due to North Korea’s sea route closure in 2020.
