North Korea has experienced severe flooding, particularly in areas near its border with China. Despite the damage, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rejected international aid offers, including humanitarian assistance from Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Instead, Kim Jong Un has directed officials to relocate thousands of displaced residents to the capital for better care. The decision to refuse outside help comes as Kim Jong Un sees potential opportunities in managing the crisis internally.
