21/11/2017 - Rason, North Korea - In a photo taken on November 21, 2017, Ra In-Hae, 46, sits in her new home after her old house was damaged by flooding, before the portraits of late North Korean leaders Kim Il-Sung ans Kim Jong-Il, near Rason. At the northeastern tip of North Korea, where the isolated, nuclear-armed country meets its giant neighbours China and Russia, United Nations sanctions on the regime over its weapons programmes are having an impact. And with the North facing further sanctions following its ICBM missile test on November 29, things are unlikely to get any easier for traders involved with the remote region's Rason Special Economic Zone (SEZ). © ED JONES / AFP
