Briefer : PARK Jongsul, Secretary General of the Korean Red Cross

Due to recent heavy rain in North Korea, including areas such as Sinuiju City of North Pyeongan Province and Jagang Province, North Korean residents have reportedly experienced immense damage.

First of all, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the North Korean residents who have been affected by the heavy rainfall.

Aware of the humanitarian challenges faced by North Korean residents, we are willing to promptly provide urgently needed relief to affected North Koreans from a humanitarian perspective and in the spirit of brotherhood.

We are ready to discuss details including relief items, amount of aid supplies and delivery method together with the DPRK Red Cross Society, and look forward to the North's prompt response.
