In North Korea, between 1994 and 1998, an estimated 2-3 million people have died as a result of famine. The famine appears to be the result of the near total economic collapse of North Korea. North Korean leaders have blamed the famine on flood and drought, although no independent investigation of the famine has been allowed by the reclusive government. <ref>{{cite web
