Extreme winter causes animals to die in Mongolia. More than 1.5 million herd animals have already died in the Central Asian country.
For Mongolia it is already the second “Dzud” winter in a row. Pope Francis expressed his closeness to the people of Mongolia affected by the cold wave after his Sunday Angelus prayer in front of pilgrims and believers in St. Peter's Square in Rome. The “climate crisis” is a global social problem and primarily affects the most vulnerable.
