2 Koreas wrap up cross-border reunions of war-split families
South and North Korea have wrapped up a reunions event for families living divided since the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
The reunions program, the first of its kind since February 2014, was staged for six days over two rounds at the North's scenic Mount Kumgang resort. The second round came to a close yesterday (Monday).
A total of 90 South Korean families, with many in their 80s and 90s, held a tearful three-day gathering with some 190 North Korean relatives during the latter round of the event. The separated families have waited for more than six decades to be reunited.
In the first session, nearly 400 southern family members met with 96 kin from the North.
