Farmers starving to death in N. Korea's breadbasket: aid group

   SEOUL, May 20 (Yonhap) -- Farmers are dying of starvation in many regions of North Korea's main grain-producing province amid a worsening food shortage, a local aid group said Tuesday.

Famine has caused deaths in almost all except one or two regions of South Hwanghae Province, the breadbasket of North Korea, said Good Friends, a Buddhist aid group working to help hungry North Koreans.
