“Getting tense” – North Korea is about to run out of food

Published

on

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has warned the nation could be about to run out of food.

According to state media, Kim Jong-Un said the country’s economy improved this year but called for measures to tackle the “tense” food situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic and last year’s typhoons.

Mr. Kim chaired a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party’s central committee this week to review progress on major policies and craft measures in the hope to resolve economic issues.

The committee set goals and tasks to achieve its new five-year economic plan outlined at its previous session in February, including increased food and metal production.

The supreme leader says the overall economy had improved in the first half of the year, with the total industrial output growing 25% from a year before.

Local media reported there was “a series of deviations” in the party’s efforts to implement the plans due to several obstacles, with Kim singling out tight food supplies.

“The people’s food situation is now getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfil its grain production plan due to the damage by typhoon last year,”

Kim said.

The call for measures to boost agricultural production

Mr. Kim says the food situation in his country “is now getting tense.”

The party vowed to direct all efforts to the farming sector and discuss ways to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to KCNA, Kim Jon-Un stated the protracted pandemic crisis required the party to step up efforts to provide food, clothing and housing for the people.

No coronavirus cases have been officially confirmed in North Korea, although South Korean officials have questioned this claim.

North Korea has however imposed strict anti-virus measures including border closures and domestic travel restrictions.

COVAX, a global initiative for sharing COVID-19 vaccines with poor countries, has said it will provide nearly 2 million doses to North Korea but the shipment has been delayed amid protracted consultations.

Israel seeks to damage Iran’s Fordow facility before halting operations; Trump suggests US knows Khamenei’s location, avoids assassination.

In Short:
Israel aims to damage Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and is seeking US assistance, despite uncertainty about American military involvement. Tensions rise as President Trump holds national security meetings, contemplating military options against Iran.

Israel plans to continue its operations against Iran until the Fordow nuclear facility is significantly damaged. The facility, located underground near Qom, is crucial for uranium enrichment.

Israel acknowledges that its own military capabilities cannot reach the depths of Fordow, but it is relying on the United States for support.

Israel’s National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, indicated ongoing discussions with US officials but expressed uncertainty regarding US involvement in military actions.

Iran’s nuclear weapon

Many in Israel and the West suspect that Fordow is part of Iran’s nuclear weapon development, a claim that Iran denies.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit early due to this ongoing conflict and convened a national security meeting at the White House.

The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, included key security figures such as CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Reports suggest that Trump is considering the use of a “bunker buster” bomb against Fordow.
