Mongolia is currently experiencing Dzud, local term for extremely low temperatures and heavy snowfalls, which prevents livestock from accessing pasture or from receiving adequate hay and fodder.

     The Mongolian Red Cross Society, in cooperation with The International Federation of Red Cross, launched an appeal to deliver assistance and support to the herder population, who are at risk of losing millions of livestock, the only source of food, transport, and income for almost half of the Mongolian population.

     Since the beginning of the disaster response operation, MRCS has been receiving appreciation calls, messages, and feedbacks from beneficiaries through hotline 98-106-106. On behalf of herder households who are receiving humanitarian aid, Mongolian Red Cross Society expresses its deepest gratitude to all the kind donations.
