A UN report says North Korea’s citizens face a daily struggle for survival, accusing Kim Jong-un’s government of severe economic mismanagement.
The report reveals that military funding is a higher priority for the nation than ensuring its citizens aren’t starving, with 10.1 million North Koreans being impacted by severe food shortages following the worst harvest in a decade.
The UN’s high commissioner for human rights, Michelle Bachelet, says attention needs to be diverted from nuclear issues to the “terrible state of human rights for many millions of North Koreans.”
