Under the dictatorship of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, North Koreans are starving because of scarcity of food in the nation but Kim still keeps his attitude to spend money on nuclear weapons, the reports said.
According to an article written by Info Mongolia, the ambassador asked Mongolia to help them and find some possibilities of delivering food to North Korea.
North Korea watchers said many people can’t feed themselves and thousands of children are orphans due to misfortune or some other reasons. Many children are suffering from malnutrition. Therefore, according to experts, it was concluded that average height of the people of the communist state is continuously decreasing. According to a research analysis, North Koreans were taller than South Koreans, but now only few lucky men can exceed the height of 150cm.
Early this year, a case came up where a man was executed in charges of killing his two children for food, news reports said.
Several videos have been made and documented as well about the children starving to death on the streets of North Korea. Food distribution is quite often used as a leverage to control people or given as an incentive in case of any favor done, they said.
