Korean families set for long-awaited reunions

A group of elderly South Koreans separated by the 1950-53 war are set to reunite with relatives from North Korea.

Thursday’s reunion is the first since the programme was suspended in 2010 following souring of relations.

Millions of families have been separated since cessation of hositlities on the pensinsula in the 1953.
