Nov 29,2023 11:41 pm

North Korea 's leader Kim Jong-un has lambasted health officials and ordered the army to help distribute medicine, as a wave of Covid cases sweeps through the Country .

More Than A Million people have now been sickened by what Pyongyang is calling a " fever" state media said.

State media said Mr Kim led an emergency politburo meeting at the weekend where he accused officials of bungling the distribution of The National medicine reserves.

He ordered that the " powerful forces" of the army's Medical Corps step in to " immediately stabilise the supply of medicines in Pyongyang City".

The Country - although experts believe The Virus has likely been circulating for some time.

Mr Kim has imposed " maximum emergency" virus controls, including lockdowns and gathering restrictions in workplaces.

The International community offered to supply North Korea with millions of AstraZeneca and Chinese-made jabs Last Year , but Pyongyang claimed it had controlled Covid by sealing its borders early in January 2020.

North Korea shares land borders with South Korea and China, which have both battled outbreaks. China is now struggling to contain an Omicron wave with lockdowns in its biggest cities.

South Korea has offered to send unlimited aid to the North if requested, including vaccine doses, health workers, and medical equipment.

On Saturday Mr Kim.

" The spread of the malignant epidemic is [The Greatest ] turmoil to fall on Our Country since the founding, " the official KCNA news agency quoted him as saying.

As well as the direct health impact, fears have been raised for food production in North Korea . It suffered a brutal famine during the 1990s, and today The World Food Programme estimates that 11 million of the Country 's 25 million people are undernourished.

If agricultural workers are unable to tend The Fields , analysts say, the implications are extremely serious.
