Samaritan’s Purse Sends Relief to North Korea
By Carl • Sep 3rd, 2010 • Category: NewsNORTH KOREA (ChristianPost.com) – Samaritan’s Purse has chartered a Boeing 747 cargo jet to airlift 90 tons of relief supplies from the U.S. to North Korea. Massive flooding in August caused more than 260,000 people to flee their homes. Much of the international aid has gone to Pakistan because of their flooding, so Samaritans Purse is making this effort to help the people of North Korea. The plane will include medical supplies, water filtration systems, temporary shelter materials blankets and hand tools. The shipment is scheduled to arrive in Pyongyang on Thursday.
