The Day in Photos – April 7, 2016. Part 2/2

A picture made available on 06 April 2016 shows Mongolian herder Zagirjaw disposing carcasses of livestock in the snow in Uvs province, west of Mongolia, 21 March 2016. Hundreds of thousands of farm livestock have died during a natural disaster called dzud or zud in Mongolia where a summer drought is followed by heavy winter snowfall, destroying pastures and grasslands. Temperatures could go as low as minus 40 degrees celsius in the evening and some of the herders unprepared for the extreme cold have lost half their livestock. Mongolia's foreign ministry asked for international aid in February to help deal with the dzud disaster where it was estimated that about 4.4 million US dollar worth of food supplies, warm clothes, medicine and emergency vehicles were required besides hay, animal feed and vaccinations for their livestock, according to reports.
