North Korea to Temporarily Relocate Thousands of Flood Victims to Pyongyang

Kim Jong Un announces self-reliant recovery plan, rejecting foreign aid offers while ensuring care for displaced residents.

Heavy rains in late July flooded thousands of homes and acres of farmland in northwestern North Korea.
Kim Jong Un visited the affected areas and ordered the relocation of 15,400 displaced people to the capital.
The North Korean government plans to rebuild homes and stabilize the region within two to three months.
Despite offers of aid from Russia, China, and international groups, North Korea will rely on its own recovery efforts.
Tensions remain high as North Korea accuses South Korea of exaggerating flood damages and casualties.
