The Voice of America reports that a German aid organization has delivered 200 tons of rice to North Korea and the food aid is being disributed in the country.

The VOA quoted an official from the German civilian humanitarian organization “Cap Anamur” as saying that it is giving out 150 tons of rice in Anju, South Pyeongan Province and 50 tons in Haeju, South Hwanghae Province.

The German relief group has another plan to deliver more than 200 tons of rice and beans to the poverty-stricken communist country next month.

The official told the VOA that the German organization sent workers to North Korea in April to choose agencies that would distribute the food aid. The official added that the organization’s staffers are monitoring the distribution of the food aid in North Korea.
