Last week, winds and flashfloods hit North Korea, reportedly killing over 130 people and destroying thousands of buildings.
"Even if North Korea appeals for help, we don`t think the possibility is high for assistance to be given under the current situation," spokesman Jeong Joon-hee told a briefing, as quoted by the Yonhap news agency.
