The government says it will resume relief aid shipments to North Korea through the Red Cross next week to help that country's flood victims.

Shipments were suspended when the North conducted a nuclear test in October last year.

Seoul's Vice Unification Minister Sin Eonsang told reporters that the government will begin shipping blankets via the Incheon-Nampo route on Wednesday and deliver rice, trucks, cement and iron between April and May.

The delayed shipment of relief aid includes over ten thousand tons of rice, 70-thousand tons of cement, 50 dump trucks and 18-hundred tons of iron bars.
