It is North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un who has ordered officials to relocate residents to the capital. According to state media, there was heavy rain at the end of July, which caused flooding in the northwestern city of Sinuiju and the neighboring city of Uiju.
The affected areas will, according to Kim Jong Un, take two to three months to "stabilize". In the meantime, those affected will be received in facilities in Pyongyang, said North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency on Saturday.
