The United Nations panel overseeing sanctions enforcement in North Korea will allow Swiss Humanitarian Aid, a foreign aid organization operated by the Swiss government, to bypass sanctions and bring supplies into the DPRK to "support ongoing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19," a note posted to a UN website said on Friday.
The sanctions exemptions are the fourth granted to a humanitarian organization for work related to the coronavirus pandemic.
