Amid signs that a drought will widen North Korea's famine, South Korea promised to send 50,000 tons of corn to feed those already starving north of the border. The UN estimates the North needs 800,000 tons of food to avoid mass starvation before the autumn harvest. The United States, Japan, China, and others have given several hundred thousand tons of food to the North.
