Cannibalism is increasing in North Korea following another poor harvest and
a big cut in international food aid, according to refugees who have fled the
stricken country.
Aid agencies are alarmed by refugees' reports that children have been killed
and corpses cut up by people desperate for food. Requests by the United
Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to be allowed access to "farmers'
markets", where human meat is said to be traded, have been turned down by
Pyongyang, citing "security reasons".

Anyone caught selling human meat faces execution, but in a report compiled
by the North Korean Refugees Assistance Fund (NKRAF), one refugee said:
"Pieces of 'special' meat are displayed on straw mats for sale. People know
where they came from, but they don't talk about it."
