A torrent of water rushes through a mining complex in eastern North Korea.<br/> <br />State news agency, KCNA, said that nearly 200 people were dead or missing after flood waters destroyed more than 800 homes and public buildings here.<br/> <br />These still pictures show the extent of the damage in the complex in South Hamgyong Province.<br/> <br />The country could lose as much as 13 percent of its grain harvest this year as a result of drought followed by widespread flooding, according to South Korean officials.<br/> <br />The grim forecast follows a warning by an aid worker who visited the destitute North that it could be facing a return to the famine which killed an estimated 1 million North Koreans in the 1990s.<br/> <br />Nearly a third of the country's 24 million people are classified as chronically poor according to the UN.
