The Homeless of North Korea

  There are some pictures and sceneries which tourists can never be see when visiting North Korea.
Tourists are often guided by government officials, to be shown what the government want them to see.
 
  In reality, there are many disturbing "truths" in the countries such as starving orphans, disabled street children and homeless elderlies. Usually their existences are not allowed to "appear" in the city, especially in front of tourists.

  Normally, orphans, disabled people and poor elderlies are supposed to be prioritized in a country's welfare system, for them to lead a meaning life, but those in North Korea not only have low quality of life but survival itself is a big challenge.

  Here is a video from YouTube that describes the situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLlrKBhkbLg  (I think someone secretly filmed since usually tourist cannot access or film them)
