Comments:
Beginning from the end of December 2009, Mongolia saw a sharp and sudden drop of temperature combined with continuous heavy snowfall, recognized locally as dzud. The current situation has caused a loss of hundreds of thousands of livestock, leaving numerous herders without any source of livelihood. As the dzud is a slow-on-set disaster which continues for weeks and months, there are challenges in gathering information and conducting emergency assessments. (IFRC)
