North Korea's people have just been told to not expect relief until 2025. Then, perhaps as many as 3.5 million people died, representing more than 10 percent of the population.

A North Korean court on November 10 sentenced two cadres to life imprisonment for "anti-socialist and non-socialist acts"-in this case, "violating the closed border." The officials, trying to alleviate a severe food shortage in North Hamgyong province, were buying rice from China.
