The UN's 1718 Committee last last month granted the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) the latest in a line of humanitarian exemptions required by organizations to deliver certain goods to North Korea, the Committee's website showed on Thursday.
The IFRC exemption represents the eighth such notice issued to humanitarian organizations in January alone, with UNICEF, the Eugene Bell Foundation, Christian Friends of Korea, First Steps Health Society, Handicap International, World Vision, and Swiss Humanitarian Aid receiving similar permissions.
