Facing the Wrath of Nature: Mongolia’s Harrowing Dzud Threatens 90% of the Nation

WAMIP remains steadfast in its support for Mongolia during the critical ‘white and iron’ dzud crisis. As over 190,000 herder households grapple with the harsh reality of inadequate feed, surging prices, and heightened vulnerabilities exacerbated by extreme weather conditions, Mongolian culture and economy faces unprecedented challenges. With Livestock at risk, an integral component of traditional Mongolian life, humanitarian assistance is urgently needed.
