ROME ? A U.N. food agency says the number of severely malnourished children hospitalized in North Korea is rapidly rising.
The World Food Program said Friday it has been able to reach far fewer than half the 3.5 million North Koreans it hopes to feed.
It says it is also concerned its emergency operation is only 30 percent funded. It says local factories don't have the ingredients needed to make special nutritious biscuits.
Priority in food assistance is going to orphans, children in hospitals, young schoolchildren and pregnant woman.
The Rome-based agency says that although damage to farmland from recent flooding doesn't seem too widespread, it is too early to tell the full impact on food production among chronically hungry North Koreans.
