Korean's in Desperate Need of Food After Floods

    In August of 2012, mass amounts of rain poured down on the people of North Korea.  Not only did this rainfall sweep away their homes, but it also swept away all of their crops.  The floods left hundreds of thousands homeless, and killed up to 169 people.  "The United Nations declared the situation in North Korea an emergency Thursday after torrential rain soaked the country between July 18 and 29," said the CNN Wire Staff.  Not only did these floods take away thousands of people's homes, but also destroyed many wells and water pumping stations, leaving 50,000 families without clean water.  During the peak of the flooding, the highest number of deaths were recorded in Phyongan.  Throughout the flooding in North Korea, people of the United Nations tried their best to help the people get access to food and water, but had a hard time helping everyone.  When there are that many people in need, it is hard to support all the people with their struggles.  Even today in 2014, many families are still homeless and struggling to find access to water and food.
    It is very hard to place a reasonable opinion on the subject.  There are hundreds of thousands of people in North Korea alone with no homes, and that isn't even a percentile of the amount of homelessness and famine in the world.  It is important to help people, but who are you supposed to help when everyone in need.  Although the United States has a large amount of power, there are also other countries who have a large amount of power too.  In order to try to aid to all of the homelessness, dehydration, and famine around the world, we all need to join together and help those who are in need.  It is impossible for one country alone to take care of all of those who are hurting.  Although there is something like this already called the NRA, they didn't make that large of an impact on the floods in North Korea.  The NRA is something that could greatly benefit planet earth in the future, but it definitely needs more numbers and contribution in order to make a change.
