South Korea has offered aid to North Korea to help with an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in pigs, which would be Seoul's first government-level humanitarian help to Pyongyang since 2010.
The South's Unification Ministry said Monday that the offer includes a proposal to meet with North Korean officials to discuss humanitarian aid.
North Korea's state news agency reported last week that the highly-infectious animal disease had broken out January 8 and is spreading because North Korea has a shortage of disinfectants and preventive medicine.
