Source: Religion Today Medical Teams International (MTI) and its partners are air shipping $1 million worth of emergency medicines to North Korea today (Thursday, Sept. 20). The medical supplies will help thousands of North Koreans affected by some of the worst flooding in decades. According to aid officials in North Korea, government authorities are now calling medical assistance the number one priority to help the more than 1 million people directly affected by last month’s disaster. The medical supplies from MTI include antibiotics and medicines for malaria and cholera. The essential medicines will help 20,000 people for three months. North Korea’s urgent request for humanitarian assistance is its first appeal since 1995 when severe flooding killed nearly 2 million people. |
