The South Korean government has decided to provide $500,000, or approximately 700 million won, in humanitarian aid to Honduras, which has been suffering from a prolonged drought that began in May.
The assistance will be provided through international organizations operating locally.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), a red alert for drought has been declared in 103 areas across Honduras, with an estimated 620,000 local residents facing a severe food crisis.
The government stated that it hopes the support will help residents in the affected areas quickly return to their daily lives.
