    The Korean humanitarian crisis of 1953

    The Korean humanitarian crisis of 1953
  • After the Korean War of 1953, several families were separated from their relatives in the division of the Korean-peninsula.

    Since then, there has been little to no contact between families on the either side.

    The case of the divided families is a grave humanitarian issue as most families have no knowledge of the fate of their relatives on the other side of the border.

    War of ideology: Soviet vs States

  • The Korean war (1950-53) was a war of ideologies where North Korea became a Soviet subsidiary and South Korea was aided by the United States and formed under the guidance of the United Nations.

    The families that attended the reunion were chosen out of thousands of people in a lottery draw.

  • North Korea proclaimed it would endlessly defer the reuniting because of Seoul's "reckless and vicious confrontational racket" against Pyongyang.

    A North Korean declaration denounced South Korea of 'preparing war drills' against North Korea.

    South Korea's Unification Ministry condemned the North's order as an 'inhumane' one.

    South Korea said Pyongyang cannot achieve anything by hindering the exchange and starting a confrontation.

  • Families were reunited at a North Korean mountain resort after the thawing of relations in 2014.

    Since November 2010, this was the 1st reunion for the families and was a result of painstaking negotiations reflecting the strained relations between North and South Korean governments.

    South Korea rebukes North for hindering reunions
  • The South Korean government condemned North Korea's contention that the family reunions would take place only when the United States and South Korea terminated joint military drills.

    Unification Ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee reiterated his country's stance that the military exercises were "defensive, routine drills that should be unrelated to family reunions."

    He said it was 'inappropriate' for North Korea to link the two issue.
