South Korea’s Ministry of Unification (MOU) on Tuesday said it would allow the nonprofit Eugene Bell Foundation to send medical and building supplies to North Korea, the first such approval since the inauguration of Moon Jae-in in May.

EugeneBell said on June 15 that the organization had first requested permission from the MOU to send multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) medication and construction materials for makeshift hospital wards to the North on May 3, but were forced to resubmit the request with additional information on June 14.
