What's life like for North Koreans?

Most North Koreans are extremely poor.

Thousands starved to death after flooding and drought caused a massive famine in 1995.

And one out of every three North Koreans still relies on donations from the United Nations for food.

Two out of every three are chronically malnourished or suffering from stunted growth.

And the temperature in the capital, Pyongyang, can dip to -10 C.
