Hundreds of South Koreans have crossed the border to North Korea in a stream of buses for emotional reunions with relatives they have been separated from since the war between the countries more than 60 years ago.
The reunion programme, which began on Tuesday and lasts for a week, is taking place at the Kumgang Mountain resort in North Korea – located near the heavily fortified border.
The elderly South Koreans said they were taking long johns, medicine, parkas, calligraphy works and cash with them to give to their family members in the North as presents.
