The Red Cross has trained 43,000 North Korean volunteers to help communities, including the locked-down city of Kaesong, fight the coronavirus and provide flood assistance, an official with the organization said
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared an emergency last month and imposed a lockdown on Kaesong, near the inter-Korean border, after a man who defected to the South in 2017 returned to the city showing coronavirus symptoms.
“Hundreds of homes have been damaged and large areas of rice fields have been submerged due to heavy rain and some flash flooding,” Balmain said. “Families are being supported with psychological first aid and awareness activities to maintain hygiene and stay healthy,” he added.
