South Korea allows flour aid to North Korea (AP)

PAJU, South Korea ? South Korea has sent the first shipment of flour aid to North Korea since Kim Jong Il died last month.

The aid comes as North Korea unites around Kim Jong Un after his father died of a heart attack. Pyongyang has since vowed that it would never deal with Seoul's current government.

Footage from the Associated Press Television News in the border city of Paju showed a column of trucks carrying 180 tons of flour aid across the border Friday.

Seoul's Unification Ministry said a group of civic officials is traveling with the assistance intended for children. Seoul allowed a shipment of aid earlier this month but no civilians accompanied it.

South Korea says it won't resume large-scale food aid unless Pyongyang moves clearly toward nuclear disarmament.
