Despite the North Korean government's claims that the country is food-secure, this photo of a young man emaciated from hunger tells a different story. Decades after the famine crisis that made international headlines, North Korea's limited food production and lack of international relations continue to contribute to the ongoing hunger crisis. With limited options for importing food, the citizens rely heavily on what can be grown in the country, which is often insufficient. The photo is a stark reminder that behind the staged photos and government propaganda, real hunger and malnutrition continue to affect the people of North Korea.
