North Korean citizens have secretly spoken out from the regime-controlled country to share the horror of starvation they currently face.
Civilians trapped inside the country say they have watched mothers, unable to work due to sickness, die of starvation and watched whole families perish from hunger.
A construction worker, using the fake name Chan Ho, who lives near the Chinese border told the BBC that food supplies were so low that five people in his village had already died from starvation.
