The flooding is particularly concerning given North Korea's history of crop failures and food shortages. The country has faced multiple agricultural crises over the years, leading to devastating famines. Observers note that Kim's government has struggled to secure adequate food supplies, and natural disasters only exacerbate these issues. Therefore, addressing the aftermath of the flooding is crucial for the regime's stability and legitimacy.
