South Korea said Monday it will provide North Korea with US$13.3 million in humanitarian aid, in another show of its resolve to separate inter-Korean military tensions from efforts to help the needy in the North.
The South has decided to offer $7 million worth of nutritional assistance to mother and child health services in North Korea via the World Food Program (WFP), according to the unification ministry, (Yonhap) reported.
Seoul will also deliver $6.3 million to the World Health Organization (WHO) for its projects to ship essential medicine to the North, improve clinics and train related manpower there, it added.
