Most foreign humanitarian workers have left or are set to leave North Korea, with five more having departed this week, informed sources told NK News. It's likely only one NGO, Concern Worldwide, now maintains a physical presence in the country, according to a source.
The NGO workers left North Korea along with Polish, Czech and Mongolian diplomats on Thursday, the sources said, following Pyongyang's continued restrictions on movement designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
