North Korea Accepts American Aid Packages, Despite Threats to ‘destroy entire US territory’


Kim Jong-un has an “all consuming haterd for America” yet he will take help from a Washington based NGO sending in medication to counter the tuberculosis epidemic spreading across North Korea

“Despite the ongoing tensions surrounding the Korean peninsula this year, we are happy to announce that our spring shipment of medications and supplies for our multidrug-resistant treatment program have arrived in North Korea,” aid workers said in a “special announcement” seen by the Telegraph.

Around five per cent of the North population have been infected with the disease, which a 2010 Amnesty International report attributed to “an overall deterioration in health and nutrition status of the population as well as the rundown of the public health services” North Korean officials referred to the outbreak as its “biggest health emergency,” and the disease is said to have killed more than 5,000 people last year.

Treatment for the so-called “Super TB” is only available through the foundation, which has twelve medical centres in North Korea, but it only has enough drugs to last until April 2016.

North Korea has imprisoned its people under the communist fist of Jung-un.  His repressive behavior and exhibition of ballistic missiles only makes him all the more dangerous to the rest of the world.

Truth and Action reported that, North Korean leader regularly threatens to destroy South Korea and Japan, as well as the U.S. He would be smacked down like a pesky mosquito except for his patron-saint China, so mostly the world just ignores his temper tantrums. The latest one resulted from his reaction to South Korea and the U.S. holding joint war games on the Korean peninsula.

The U.S., in an attempt to punish Pyongyang for its nuclear and ballistic missile tests, have slapped North Korea with new sanctions.  The sanctions, reports Truth and Action, which block transportation, mining, energy and financial services deals with Pyongyang, seem to have only had the effect of Kim Il-sung thumbing his nose at the U.S. and enticing him to continue testing their military hardware.

The threat Jung-un presents to the world, is also devastating to his countrymen. Dr. Linton, of the Eugene Bell Foundation said, “Short of all-out war, I cannot imagine a greater tragedy for the Korean people.”

Dr Linton said the lives of at least 1,500 TB patients were at risk because Seoul did not make humanitarian aid an exception to the latest sanctions imposed on North Korea for its nuclear programme.

The Foundation said it has since “quietly campaigned” to convince the South to release three containers of tuberculosis medicine.

“Despite chronic tensions and occasional military clashes, with permission from the current and three previous South Korean administrations, for two decades Eugene Bell has provided a dependable supply of South Korean TB medications to TB sufferers in the north,” a spokesman said.
