North Korea denied aid as covid cases climbed & refugees - now campaign issue in Turkey

The article discusses North Korea's denied aid amid rising Covid cases and refugees, which has now become a campaign issue in Turkey. Despite acknowledging only 162 cases, it is believed that the actual number of infections is much higher. The country's healthcare system's inadequate treatment standards have led to a significant proportion of the population living with pre-existing diseases such as tuberculosis and malnutrition. Additionally, politicians in Turkey are now competing to portray refugees negatively ahead of upcoming elections.
