NEW YORK (Dagbladet): It is the diplomats from the Russian embassy in North Korea who are sounding the alarm. They believe that the lack of medical supplies and the unbearable coronary restrictions have become too much. On Thursday they published a post on the embassy’s Facebook page describing the situation.
North Korea has one of the strictest quarantine regimes in the world, and Russian diplomats describe a “collective exit.”
Missing essential elements
– It is possible to understand those who leave the North Korean capital. Hardly anyone can bear the unsurpassed total restrictions any longer, the large deficit of essential goods, including medicines, the lack of opportunities to solve health problems, write employees of the Russian embassy.
Russia is one of the countries with the largest diplomatic delegation to the communist dictatorship. In the post, the total number of foreigners in North Korea is now 290.
Warn USA: – Do not stink
In February, Russian diplomats and their families were forced to leave the country with a dresine.
The borders with North Korea have been closed since January last year.
Analysts say the country probably has the tightest coronary restrictions in the world, and that the measures have given authorities the opportunity to increase control over the daily lives of the country’s inhabitants to the same level as during the famine of the United States. 1990s, writes The Guardian.
The train leaving North Korea
– Hunger and exhaustion
As always, very little information is leaked out of the country.
However, six North Korean border guards fled to China last week due to “hunger and fatigue.”
A researcher for the human rights organization Human Rights Watch, Lina Yoon, wrote on March 16 about how she learned about the lack of food, soap, toothpaste and batteries. She explains that trade with China, the country’s neighbor and dominant trading partner, has fallen by 80 percent. Food and medicine imports are said to have fallen to almost zero percent. This is because North Korean authorities claimed that trade and “yellow dust”, which crossed the border into China, could cause the spread of the coronavirus. In addition, severe flooding is said to have destroyed much of agricultural production.
Officially, North Korea has not had a single case of infection. They attribute this to strict travel restrictions and quarantine rules. However, analysts believe there have been outbreaks in the military and in border towns, among other places.
North Korea will receive 1.7 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from the Covax program.
