North Korea has reduced food rations to its soldiers for the first time in more than two decades as the Hermit Kingdom<\/a> descends into a possible food crisis, officials said this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s<\/a> unification ministry, which oversees relations with their northern neighbors, said North Korea\u2019s food situation “seems to have deteriorated.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ministry noted a Feb. 6 report from North Korea\u2019s state news agency KCNA about plans for an “urgent” ruling party meeting on agriculture. Such special meetings are rare, according to the South\u2019s ministry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, DongA Ilbo, a South Korean newspaper, reported Wednesday that the North has reduced daily food rations to its soldiers for the first time since 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the report could not be 100% confirmed, South Korea\u2019s unification ministry said it and other agencies were monitoring the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report comes after the U.S.-based monitoring group 38 North said last north that North Korea\u2019s food availability has “likely fallen below the bare minimum with regard to human needs.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Korea is no stranger to serious food shortages, often caused by natural disasters such as floods damaging harvests. The country suffered one of its worst famines between 1994 and 1998 when hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The North is under crushing international sanctions for its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program. In recent years what little trade it had was virtually cut off by self-imposed lockdowns to prevent the spread of COVID-19<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reuters contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
