North Korea facing its worst 🍚drought since 2001

North Korea is heading for its worst 🍚drought since 2001, the United Nations warned, raising the possibility of increased food shortages in the rogue state.

"More rains are urgently needed to avoid significant decreases in the main 2017 cereal production season," a report📝 by the UN Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) said Thursday.

North Korea is still recovering from a deadly famine in the late 1990s, and the UN's World Food Programme estimates 70% of the country's 25 million people still don't eat a "sufficiently diverse diet" 😞

Memories of drought and famine are still fresh in North Korea, where at least 2million people are estimated to have died between 1995 and 1999 as part of the country-wide disaster that almost brought the Kim regime to its knees.
