Recent heavy rains from Tropical Storm Gaemi have devastated North Korea's northwestern regions, with over 1,100 people dead or missing. South Korea's Red Cross is ready to provide flood relief as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspects the affected areas.
Tensions rise as North Korea launches balloons carrying trash to the South, prompting Seoul to respond with propaganda broadcasts. Meanwhile, work is underway in Pyongyang to prevent flooding of the Taedong River, with no outside humanitarian monitors present in North Korea.
The floods have submerged roads, railways, over 4,100 homes, and vast farmland, leading Kim Jong Un to order military helicopters to evacuate villagers. Amid these challenges, South Korea's offer of aid may mark the first official contact between the two Koreas in years, potentially easing recent strained relations.
