The US has historically used food aid for North Korea as a bargaining chip; NK tests missiles, US sends less food. Not sure what this source's bias is, but here's a quote:
> It has been widely reported that any food aid that arrives in North Korea is diverted away from ordinary citizens and doled out to key constituents, especially in the military. It is precisely for this reason that Pyongyang refuses to allow aid workers the ability to conduct routine monitoring of humanitarian aid delivery.
