The Incheon city government has signed a memorandum of understanding with a civic group to send 700 tons of corn to North Korean flood victims in Sinuiju.
The aid is worth 300 million won.
The city government and the Korean Sharing Movement obtained permission to provide the food aid from the Unification Ministry on September 14th.
The first shipment of corn will arrive late this month via an overland route linking the city of Dandong in China to the North Korean city of Sinuiju.
The remaining food aid will be delivered to North Korea by year’s end.
Previously, the Incheon city government announced a plan to send six shipments of milk and infant formula by December. The aid is valued at 100 million won.
The first shipment left Incheon port for North Korea on Saturday.
