HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITES

  • While all immediate needs are considered met to the extent possible, the response to the flood that occurred as a result of heavy rain over the period 18th- 29th July, continues in most affected provinces/counties in order to restore livelihoods and access to basic services in the areas of food, shelter, health, water, sanitation and hygiene.

  • At the same time, humanitarian agencies in DPRK are making efforts to replenish emergency stocks of food and non-food relief items to ensure adequate preparedness capacity in the event of a new emergency.
