The World Food Program has issued an emergency appeal for aid to help feed millions of starving people in North Korea.

The agency said Monday that its supplies have nearly run out and it is cutting off food to almost all of the six-point-five million people that it feeds there.
The United States, Australia, Canada and the European Union recently pledged 77-thousand tons of aid but this will not arrive before April.
Meanwhile, Austria promised one-thousand tons of food aid for infants in North Korea through the WFP.

In a statement, Austrian Foreign Minister Benita Ferrero-Waldner said her country cannot stand by idly while the children in the communist state are starving.
