S.Korean Red Cross Notifies NK of Relief Supply Delivery

South Korea’s Red Cross has reportedly notified its North Korean counterpart of a plan to deliver relief supplies for flood victims in the North.

Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo told reporters that the South’s Red Cross notified the plan to the North via the Gaeseong Industrial Complex management office on Wednesday.

Under the plan, the South’s Red Cross will ship five-thousand tons of rice and three million cups of instant noodles to the North on Monday.

The supplies are expected to arrive in China’s Port of Dandong around Thursday of next week before they are transferred to Sinuiju via overland routes. The delivery of the supplies is expected to be completed around mid-December.

Lee said that although the government has yet to decide on when it will ship ten-thousand tons of cement to the North, the cement is likely to leave South Korean ports around this month.
