Food shortages returned last year, while aid and investment from neighbors such as South Korea and Japan have dwindled.

Estimates from South Korea's central bank, released on Monday, suggest that North Korea's gross domestic product recovered in 2008 after two years of contraction, with 3.7% growth.
