This post dishonestly portrays Unicef’s march 27th statement. In the very next paragraph of the UN News Center report to which Rosett links, the head of Unicef clearly states that DPRK government policies are at fault as well.

Of course, anyone with even a basic understanding of North Korea would understand the underlying reason behind the dire humanitarian situation. But Unicef, like most humanitarian organizations, serve in countries at the pleasure of the host government. Humanitarian aid is based on the principle that people need not starve to death or lack basic medical care just because they are citizens of an odious regime.

My UN Dispatch post explains more fully.
