Red Cross officials of South and North Korea are meeting at the truce village of Panmunjom later Monday to discuss the delivery of relief aid from the South.

South Korea's Red Cross is collecting relief goods from its nationwide branches for victims of Thursday's deadly train blast in the North.

A Red Cross official said Sunday that the relief goods, worth some 450 million won, will be assembled at a Korea Express Company warehouse in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province until Monday afternoon.

The goods, being collected from seven national Red Cross branches, include 10,000 bottles of drinking water, 3,000 blankets and emergency medical supplies.

Earlier on Sunday, International Red Cross officials confirmed that the death toll from Thursday's explosion in Ryongchon has risen to 161. The organization did not say whether the revised number reflected new deaths or freshly confirmed casualties. The estimated number of injured remains at 1,300.
