Guardian photo gallery shows North Korea's food crisis in pictures

Oct 13 2011

The Guardian published a gallery of photographs taken in North Korea by Damir Sagolj, after "[a] harsh winter and widespread flooding have exacerbated the food shortage in [the country], leaving millions of people on a knife edge." Sagolj traveled to North Korea with a group of journalists invited by the government "to see at firsthand how the situation has hit the country's farm belt" in an effort to "highlight the humanitarian crisis" (10/11).
