Sending humanitarian aid to North Korea is a mistake...

Sending humanitarian aid to North Korea is a mistake...  So says Jo Jin-hye (at right), who escaped to China from North Korea after most of her family died of starvation – and she said it to a United Nations commission, who is reviewing the U.N.'s continued sending of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid.  Most humanitarian organizations have long since concluded that it was useless to send aid to North Korea, as it all ends up in the hands of the ruling class, not those who so badly need it – and that's exactly the message the commission got from Jo Jin-hye.

Let's hope they listen to her.
