Religious community in South Korea on Thursday called for more humanitarian aid to people of the Democratic People"s Republic of Korea (DPRK), according to local media.
Representatives from the five major religions including Buddhism, Protestantism, Catholicism, the Episcopal Church of Korea and Won Buddhism, made the call in a statement on Thursday, saying that the DPRK people are the greatest victims of the tension ties between Seoul and Pyongyang caused by the case of a South Korean warship"s sinking, according to the state-run KBS radio.
<##IMAGE##> The community called for sending more humanitarian aid to the DPRK, warning that more DPRK people will die if aid is not available.
South Korea last month unveiled a series of punitive measures against the DPRK, after a multinational investigation team concluded that the 1,200-ton navy vessel Cheonan that went into waters near a tense maritime border with the DPRK in March, was torpedoed by the DPRK. The measures include downsizing the operation of the Kaesong park, suspending all inter-Korean cooperation apart from the Kaesong program, and relaunching psychological warfare against Pyongyang.
The government also said humanitarian aid to the DPRK will be suspended in principle, apart from "pure humanitarian aid" for vulnerable groups of people such as infants and young children.
