US SUSPENDS NORTH KOREA FOOD AID


The US has suspended its food aid to North Korea over Korea's plan to launch a rocket next month.According to US, North Korea has broken the terms of a peace deal that these two countries had agreed upon. To US, N.Korea has embarked on a missile test that will prove to be a threat to regional stability.

United States has to understand that its decision will have have catastrophic consequences.It will only affect millions of starving innocent people who are in urgent need of food aid.According to CNN news (28/03/12), such people amount to 6 million.
I strongly believe that the political negotiations that US undertook with N.Korea do not have to affect the humanitarian assistance it has to offer N.Korea.I am dissapointed that US is prepared to priorities its political interests first before having the interests of Korean citizens who urgently need this food aid from US.US would rather have people dying from starvation until N. Korea decides to cancel its rocket launch plan, whenever that may be.This seems unreasonable and totally unfair.Even though North Korea's plan to launch a rocket may be irresponsible and dangerous, that does not justify US to disadvantage starving people in need of its aid.
