PRI's "The World" recently spoke with Matt Ellingson, director of Program Development at Samaritan's Purse, an international Christian relief organization, who was part of a mission to North Korea this month during which five U.S.-based, non-governmental organizations were allowed to send observers to the country to monitor delivery of aid to areas affected by severe floods this past summer. The group "came away concerned about widespread malnutrition and starvation in North Korea" and "is now calling for an urgent humanitarian intervention," "The World" reports. The radio show provides audio of the interview and a link to a "factfile" on the North Korea food crisis published in The Telegraph earlier this month (9/23).
