Food aid reaches North Korea

Posted: 12:35 PM ET

(CNN) - A U.S. ship has arrived at a North Korean port carrying 38,000 tons of food aid to be distributed to some of the millions living in hunger, U.N. sources said Sunday.

The delivery is part of a new deal signed by U.S., U.N., and North Korean officials and others, which gives outsiders - including the U.N. World Food Program - much greater access to the country.

The deal follows agreement over North Korean nuclear activities.
