Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of North Korea himself admitted that the food-related conditions in the country are currently "tense" during the meeting with the central committee.

The severe flooding and the cross-borders due to the Covid pandemic are some of the main reasons for the food crisis in North Korea.
