 | | Chagang Province, bordering China, was inaccessible for WFP monitoring since October 2004, making the agency stop delivering food assistance from early last December to late February. |
 | | "With the seven counties in Chagang reopened, WFP now has access to 158 out of 203 counties and districts, representing 83 percent of the population," the WFP said in the report issued on March 18. |
 | | Bourke, who answered questions sent by email, said that because the UN-run food agency follows a strict policy of "no access, no food," there are seven counties in Jagang province, and one county in South Hwanghae province that receive no food aid because the agency's staff is not allowed to monitor conditions there. |
