Unable to afford even three meals a day with few people buying their wares, they have no money to purchase firewood to warm their homes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">These families endure the cold by heating their homes for an hour or so with the little firewood they have and laying layers of blankets on the floor to retain the heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Neighborhood offices reported the situation to the city government and the city party committee, prompting officials to inspect living conditions personally. They found that one home in five was cold and starving, with some families on the verge of freezing to death.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>A reluctant response from struggling neighbors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Residents suffering from daily hunger and cold say this winter &#8220;is the season of death.&#8221; To help them, the city party committee and city government devised a campaign plan calling for five families to help one in need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The city&#8217;s neighborhood watch units received an order last month to conduct the campaign between Jan. 24 and the Day of the Shining Star holiday on Feb. 16, the birthday of late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. Schools were also told to collect firewood for families shivering in the cold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">However, with many families barely able to heat their own homes amid serious economic hardship, residents have responded to the campaign with little enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">&#8220;In the current circumstances, getting five families to help one won&#8217;t be easy,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;People sympathize with those households on the verge of freezing to death, but they also complain that they&#8217;re barely able to survive themselves, and that the state should take care of them in times like these.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20260209-5\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Daily NK \u2014 A Note to Readers \u2014 End of Article Pattern -->\n<div style=\"background:#1a1a1a;border-top:3px solid #cc0000;padding:0;margin-top:32px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <div style=\"padding:20px 24px 24px;\">\n\n    <!-- Header row -->\n    <div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin-bottom:14px;\">\n      <span style=\"background:#cc0000;color:#fff;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:9px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.15em;text-transform:uppercase;padding:3px 8px;flex-shrink:0;\">A Note to Readers<\/span>\n      <div style=\"flex:1;height:1px;background:#333;\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Intro line -->\n    <p style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:15px;color:#fff;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.4;margin:0 0 12px;\">Reporting from inside North Korea<\/p>\n\n    <!-- Body -->\n    <p style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:13px;color:#bbb;line-height:1.75;margin:0 0 16px;\">\n      Daily NK operates networks of sources inside North Korea who document events in real-time and transmit information through secure channels. Unlike reporting based on state media, satellite imagery, or defector accounts from years past, our journalism comes directly from people currently living under the regime. We verify reports through multiple independent sources and cross-reference details before publication.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:13px;color:#bbb;line-height:1.75;margin:0 0 16px;\">\n      Our sources remain anonymous because contact with foreign media is treated as a capital offense in North Korea &mdash; discovery means imprisonment or execution. This network-based approach allows Daily NK to report on developments other outlets cannot access: market trends, policy implementation, public sentiment, and daily realities that never appear in official narratives.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:13px;color:#bbb;line-height:1.75;margin:0 0 20px;\">\n      Maintaining these secure communication channels and protecting source identities requires specialized protocols and constant vigilance. Daily NK serves as a bridge between North Koreans and the outside world, documenting what&#8217;s happening inside one of the world&#8217;s most closed societies.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <!-- CTA row -->\n    <div style=\"border-top:1px solid #333;padding-top:16px;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:16px;flex-wrap:wrap;\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/how-we-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\n         style=\"background:#cc0000;color:#fff;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;padding:9px 16px;text-decoration:none;flex-shrink:0;\">How We Report<\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/830d12539ead\/dnkweeklybriefing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\n         style=\"background:transparent;color:#cc0000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;padding:9px 0;text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px solid #cc0000;flex-shrink:0;\">Subscribe to Our Weekly Briefing<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- End Daily NK \u2014 A Note to Readers -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As residents of the northern highlands of North Hamgyong province suffer from firewood shortages amid freezing winter temperatures, the city of Hoeryong launched a &#8220;five homes help one&#8221; campaign in January to aid families on the verge of freezing to death.
