Circumstances that the return of the flood victims of North Pyongan Province who are staying in Pyongyang are imminent are being captured everywhere.
Daily NK, a Pyongyang city source, said on the 6th, “As recovery and reconstruction in areas affected by floods in North Pyongan Province are progressing rapidly, there is talk that residents of Sinuiju, who were staying in Pyongyang, will return to their original places as early as the middle of this month.” .
Sources say this is in response to reports that recovery work in the most difficult flood-hit areas is nearing completion.
In particular, it is said that on the 26th of last month, local offices and organizations of the Korean Socialist Women’s Alliance in Pyongyang were instructed to provide some food for flood victims temporarily residing in Pyongyang when they return.
He asked people to participate in helping flood victims who are returning to their original places after living in a foreign place for a long time, with a warm helping hand and a sincere heart.
It is said that the instructions specifically requested that each household provide approximately 5 to 10 kg of kimchi.
The source said, “The reason is that (the flood victims) cannot afford to go back and make kimchi right away.” He added, “Pyongyang City has promised to quickly secure the procurement of kimchi ingredients such as cabbage and radish, and the Pyongyang City Women’s Union is currently taking the lead. “We are cooperating with local government offices,” he said.
A source said, “The committee asks people to participate voluntarily, but making kimchi for flood victims is actually a mobilization project,” adding, “Street women (full-time housewives) are criticized for having to postpone making kimchi at their own homes because of the flood-damaged residents, and for making them suffer until the day they leave.” “They are laying it out,” he said.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the central government has given instructions to the Party Committee of Sinuiju City, a flood-hit area, to do its best to help flood victims who stayed in Pyongyang return to their original lives and live stably.
A source from North Pyongan Province said, “In response to such instructions from the central government, city workers began preparing for wintering for the flood victims.”
The explanation is that when the flood victims living in Pyongyang came down to Sinuiju, they were running around trying to prepare food for immediate consumption as well as firewood and other materials for wintering.
Meanwhile, the Sinuiju flood victims who suffered the same flood but were unable to make it to Pyongyang and remained in the area said, “We are struggling to the point of death and holding on so hard, but it is really unsightly that they are making a fuss in welcoming guests for people who come after eating and playing to their heart’s content in Pyongyang.” Sources said they are expressing their anger.
