North Korea’s Red Cross is proposing to South Korea that more families separated by the Korean War of the 50s be reunited. This is another act of “good faith” from the North who has been antagonizing tensions on the peninsula lately. Severe flooding, food shortages and increased economic sanctions have put great pressure on the DPRK. Many people and families were displaced during the “Fatherland Liberation War” of 1950-1953, and have not been able to communicate with one another as mail, telephone calls, and internet access is forbidden between the two countries.
