The Korean National Red Cross has sent the first batch of its flood relief aid to North Korea.

A freighter carrying some three-hundred tons of rice left Incheon Port for the North’s Nampo Port on Wednesday morning.

The aid package includes 20-thousand blankets, ten-thousand first aid kits and medicine.

In inter-Korean Red Cross talks held on August 20th, Seoul decided to send rice, cement, iron rods, dump trucks, excavators and other supplies to the flood-stricken North.

South Korea had halted humanitarian aid earlier to Pyongyang over its missile tests last month.
