Kim Jong Un joined the rescue effort after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was hit by heavy rains - leading to devastating floods in the north of the country.

Officials say over 4,000 homes were affected. Rescuers could only reach them by boat.

In an emergency politburo meeting, members pledged to build 4,400 new homes and strengthen embankments in Sinuiju and Uiju.
