Members of the Join Together Society (JTS) of Korea, an international relief group, wave as a container filled with aid supplies to North Korea is lifted at a port in Incheon, about 40 km (25 miles) west of Seoul, August 23, 2007. North Korea and international aid agencies said the impoverished state was hit by some of its worst flooding in years earlier this month that killed hundreds, ravaged farm land, destroyed thousands of buildings and left over 300,000 people homeless. The banner on the container reads, "Stop North Koreans' pain".
