N. Korea rejects S. Korea’s offer of powdered milk aid for infants

A seven-member delegation from the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation (KCRC), a South Korean civic organization for unification, took the photo during their visit to Sariwon from Aug. 3-6 to monitor the distribution of 300 tons of flour aid they sent to the flood-damaged county earlier.

SEOUL (Yonhap) — South Korea on Wednesday proposed sending 25 tons of powdered milk to North Korea in humanitarian aid, but the communist regime rejected the offer, Seoul’s Red Cross said.
The Korea National Red Cross (KNRC) hoped to ship powdered milk for infants in the North and it delivered the message through a bilateral communication channel at the truce village of Panmunjom.
The North, however, responded that it can’t accept the proposal, according to KNRC officials.
The KNRC sent 20 tons of powdered milk to the North in 2009.

They don’t even have water for the powder mixture… This is why they rejected it.
