Mongolians Fight For Survival In Extreme Cold

 
ULAAN BAATAR, MONGOLIA-MARCH 5: Turu, a Mongolian worker collapses after having a serious seizure while working collecting and recycling the garbage at a dump on March 5, 2010 in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. Working at the garbage dump means extreme hardship, long hours outside in frigid temperatures dropping below -25C in the Winter as Mongolia experienced one of their worst Winters in 30 years. Presently the government has declared an emergency requiring foreign aid to alleviate the impact of the " Zud" (Mongolian term for multiple natural disasters) caused by bitter cold and thick snow. Currently 1.5 million goats, 921,000 sheep, 169,000 cows and yaks, 89,000 horses and 1,500 camels have perished, according to the various UN agency reports. Many Mongolians have immigrated to the capital from the provinces seeking employment, living in rented traditional circular felt yurts with no running water or electricity.
