Mongolia’s fourth successive savage winter is beginning to take a heavy toll on vital livestock and worse is to come, officials said on Thursday.

"Conditions are rapidly worsening with more blizzards forecast," said senior civil defence official Togoo, who, like many Mongolians, uses only one name.

Since the end of December, blizzards have killed four people and 80,000 head of livestock have died of starvation and extreme cold as snow blanketed land on which they would graze in a normal winter, officials said .

They said 10 of Mongolia’s 21 provinces had been declared disaster areas and they feared up to 2.5 million animals tended by nomadic herders, who form about one third of the country’s 2.4 million population, could die this winter.

The International Red Cross said on Monday 655,000 people were severely affected by the harsh winter and launched an appeal for $2.85 million in emergency aid for 16,500 people in the worst-hit areas.

"People in the affected areas are in shock because even 75-year-old grandmothers have never seen anything like this," Togoo told Reuters.

By the end of December, Mongolia had lost a third of its livestock -- more than 11.2 million cattle, horses, camels, yaks, sheep and goats -- in the past four years of summer droughts and unusually harsh winters.

"We expect at least another hundred days of disaster conditions and 70 to 80 percent losses of cattle in our county," said Dashtseden, the top official of badly affected Buregkhangai county in northern Bulgan province.

"This will really have a heavy impact on our county’s people and economy," he said. "Already many people are experiencing a great shortages of supplies."

Thousands of herders who lost their livestock have been forced to move to the cities to join the ranks of the jobless with the national unemployment rate already above 17.5 percent.

Nomadic herders depend on animals for food, heating, transport and cash.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP . . . .

Through our daily correspondence with our Staff in Mongolia, news reports and discussions with the State of Darkhan Governor’s office we are mobilzing to help 200 FAMILIES in the village of Hongor who are in desperate need of food, blankets and hay for their animals. Their need comes because of the FOURTH straight incredibly severe winter. These families are the poorest of the poor in the village of 7,000.

I have ordered our CTW food warehouses in Darkhan, Mongolia opened and food to be distributed to these 200 FAMILIES on Thursday, 30 January. In addition, I have committed to having at least 200 blanket made and purchasing 4,000 bales of hay (20 bales per family). All this is in ADDITION to the public outreach that we have already been involved in through the State of Darkhan.

The blankets costs CTW $9.00 each. The material is purchased in Darkhan and we hire single mothers to make them for us. They are then distributed by our staff through the State Governor’s office.

One (1) bale of hay is costing us $1.30 currently (but the price in increasing daily). We have been asked to provide 20 bales of hay per family. The current cost is a total of $26 for hay per family.

The food that we are distributing on Thursday which includes dehydrated soup mix, dehydrated fruit and raisins was DONATED by Gleanings for the Hungry. THANK YOU GLEANINGS!!!

We are asking you to help us meet the need for blankets and hay to feed these families animals. Remember that these are countryside folks who are totally dependant on their animals. If the animals die, the family loses everything.

This isn’t like the disgusting "TV SURVIVOR series" where someone gets "voted off" ... this is REAL LIFE AND DEATH sitatuions here. These Hongor poor people are enduring incredible winter weather with temperatures diving into the MINUS 50 (-50) degree area. The AVERAGE temperature is -26 during the winter. We are still receiving information on these families and will have the names of EACH FAMILY that we minister to.

Please prayerfully consider helping us meet this LIFE AND DEATH need this winter. These people in Hongor live around our Teen LIFE Training center and our Hongor hashaa’s. These folks are our NEIGHBOR’s and we’ve been asked by the State Governor and local Mayor to help. We simply cannot say no. So I’m stepping out in faith to meet their needs and open ANOTHER door for us to share the love of Jesus Christ and the Gospel in a tangible way! Ask your Church, Sunday School Class, company and family to help us literally save lives in Hongor.
