A South Korean woman has been offered a little over US$4 in government compensation for the death of her brother during the 1950-53 Korean War, Reuters reported.
The woman was two years old when her brother was killed in combat in 1950, but never knew of his existence until told of his death by a neighbor.
The family had not received any compensation until April when the soldier's sister was awarded 5,000 won (US$4.33) under a law in effect during the war.
