According to financial tracking service (flow ID 98517), the Government of China provided a US$1,000,000 grant to the World Food Program (WFP) to aid flood victims in the southern part of North Korea and the flow date is October 8, 2012. The World Food Program (WFP) had reported in August 2012 that the Chinese Government contributed the cash to a total amount of emergency food aid worth $18 million USD sent to flood-hit areas in the southern part of North Korea.The aid came after the North filed a request for emergency aid this week, and the U.N. Resident Coordinator's Office in Pyongyang called for immediate assistance after an on-site investigation. Cash donations North Korea has received will be used to buy corn, sugar, vegetables and other materials from inexpensive, yet quality resources, the aid group said.
