Today, Daily NK obtained exclusive photos today depicting the devastation left behind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Despite the week that has elapsed since<br \/>\nthe rain&#8217;s onset, the city shows little in the way of reconstruction progress. As shown in the photos, sweeping currents left the area covered with debris and logs; citizens struggle to repair what they can, working on unpaved roads with shovels and their bare hands. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">All homes bear vestiges of the flood, which destroyed doors, windows, and roof tiles in its wake and scattered them across the area. Even more catastrophic are the razed kitchen gardens residents cultivate for food, little to none of which was salvageable after the rains swept through and destroyed the plots.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThe rate of hourly precipitation on August<br \/>\n22nd reached 160mm, submerging entire villages,&#8221; a source in North Hamgyong Province reported today after providing Daily NK with photos. \u201cWater levels were as high as a human being and poured<br \/>\nin through the windows of people\u2019s homes unabated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Korean Central News Agency [KCNA] reported<br \/>\nthe number of deaths to stand at 40, but the source dismissed these statistics<br \/>\nas prohibitively low, especially considering the considerable damage incurred<br \/>\nby factory enterprises further inland.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Meanwhile, lending weight to the source\u2019s<br \/>\nestimations is the fact that the International Federation of Red Cross [IRFC] reported the number of fatalities in areas near the northeastern border<br \/>\nalone to be 40, with at least 11,000 flood victims otherwise affected by the flood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Efforts to assess the extent of damage to neighboring areas of Rason are ongoing but doing so has proved difficult and the breadth and degree of the destruction remains unknown.&nbsp;<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Compounding all these issues is Pyongyang\u2019s &#8220;ineptitude,&#8221; as the source put it, in implementing protocol and carrying out measures to combat the damage and help residents get back on their feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cWhen there\u2019s flood damage in China, the<br \/>\nnation\u2019s leader heads there personally to&#8211;at the very least&#8211;assess the<br \/>\nsituation,\u201d he asserted. \u201cBut the North Korean authorities aren\u2019t doing<br \/>\nanything! People lack even bare necessities like sufficient food and<br \/>\nmedicine.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">A dearth of available drinking water is<br \/>\namong the most pressing issues, according to the source, who reported that all<br \/>\nsupplies have been contaminated. While meager food supplies are trickling out<br \/>\nof a few factories in Rason, none have reserves of drinkable water.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Fortunately, he said, China has stepped up<br \/>\nand expressed its will to help reconstruct the havoc-stricken city and North<br \/>\nKorean trading companies in China are readying drinking water provisions to<br \/>\nchannel to Rason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" class=\"bbs_caption1_box\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/efile\/201508\/DNKE_1344_295691_1440751470_i.jpg\"><br \/><a class=\"bbs_caption1\">The flood toppled countless trees, sweeping them away with <br \/>powerful currents.&nbsp;Image: Daily NK<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos obtained by Daily NK of flood damage in Rason.
