Seoul Increases N. Korea Flood Aid
South Korea has announced a new relief package for North Korea to help it recover from devastating floods. It will send aid worth almost $40m to its impoverished neighbor, in addition to $7.5m it pledged in the immediate aftermath of the floods. Seoul will ship the aid - cement, trucks and construction materials - from September. North Korea says about 300 people died in the floods, the worst in the communist nation for several years.
