GENEVA, Sept 7 (Reuters) - North Korea, where floods have seriously damaged nearly one sixth of arable land, will continue to need international food aid in the long term, the United Nations said on Friday.

The U.N.'s World Food Programme, reporting on its assessment of food security in the reclusive country after last month's devastating floods, is to provide emergency food rations to 215,000 people in six provinces for the next three months. http://www.reuters.com/article/homepageCrisis/idUSL07886372._CH_.2400
