Why Is UNICEF Continuing to Help Fund North Korean Weapons Programs?

The real question though is why the UNICEF giving a country that can afford its own self proclaimed space program, nuclear weapons and ICBMs any money at all?  Clearly the Kim regime has the resources to care for these children, but instead diverts these resources to their weapons programs and lets UNICEF pick up the bill:

A United Nations agency almost halved its budget for medical assistance and childcare projects in North Korea, a U.S. based media outlet reported Saturday.

According to the Voice of America (VOA), the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has earmarked a total of US$71 million for such projects during the 2017-2021 period, sharply cut from the $120 million set up for the 2011-2015 period.

The sharp reduction in the budget for North Korea-related humanitarian projects came as a result of international sanctions against the communist state.  [Yonhap]

My guess it is the same reason the UN allows hamas to store rockets in UN schools in the west bank…….
