Two France-based international assistance organizations have received sanctions exemptions from the United Nations for items they will send to North Korea, a U.N. website showed Friday.
Premiere Urgence Internationale (PUI) and Handicap International were granted the sanctions waivers on Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, respectively, for six months, according to the website.
Handicap International secured a sanctions waiver for its projects on "inclusion and social protection of people with vulnerabilities" and "achieving inclusion into communities for people with disabilities through improved access to services."
It plans to ship a total of 73 items, including wheelchairs, auxiliary crutches, toilet chairs and walking frames estimated to be worth around 233,363 euros (US$263,000), the website showed.
PUI was exempted from global sanctions for its projects "on improving children's nutritional status and households' resilience." It, however, did not provide details on what items would be brought into the North.
The latest sanctions exemptions have brought the total number of humanitarian assistance projects for North Korea posted on the U.N. website to 12. (Yonhap)
