The number of undernourished people in North Korea has more than doubled over the past decade with a diminishing dietary energy supply despite the country's increased food production, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported.
The annual report, released in Rome on Wednesday, said the number of undernourished in North Korea totaled 7.9 million for 2001-2003, more than twice as many as the 3.6 million recorded for 1990-1992.
The dietary energy supply, measured in daily calorie intake per person, fell to 2,150 for the 2001-2003 period from 2,470 in 1990-1992, marking a 1.25 percent decrease, it said.
The Bethlehem Project
The Bethlehem Project relies solely on the support of private donors with a heart to feed the hungry children of North Korea. Without this generous support children will continue to be ignored and suffer from lack of food and easily preventable malnourishment.
