Severe winter continues in Mongolia. According to the last Asia and the Pacific Weekly Regional Humanitarian Snapshot, an estimated 157,000 people or 37,000 herder households across 17 out of 21 provinces in Mongolia are affected by severe winter condition Dzud. A drought during the summer of 2016 has depleted herders’ reserves of hay and fodder in the eastern part of the country putting at risk livestock which are a vital source of food, transport and income for thousands of people. Multipurpose cash grants to support life-saving basic needs, emergency agricultural inputs and veterinary first aid kits have been identified as priority needs. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has established a task force to coordinate the response to the harsh winter conditions.
