Join Our Christmas Campaign to Rescue 6 NK Refugees

On Nov. 26, LFNKR received a rescue request from a group of six North Korean refugees, one of whom is a 4-year-old girl.  These people are survivors of the heavy flooding caused by North Korea’s torrential rains in late August.  Reportedly, more than 100,000 people lost their homes.

Flooded village in North Korea

One LFNKR member visited the China-North Korea border and took photos of the affected area.  The following two photos were taken two days after the flooding.

After their village was completely swept away by the disaster, these six people fled to China, initially searching for food just to survive. Soon afterward they heard about LFNKR and contacted us for help relocating.
