Appeal history:
- An Emergency Appeal seeking CHF 1,062,295 (USD 991,697 or EUR 744,243) in cash, kind, or services was launched on 29 March 2010 for six months to support the Mongolian Red Cross Society (MRCS) to assist 13,600 beneficiaries in 13 identified provinces whose vulnerability and needs had dramatically increased due to the seriousness of the climatic and social situation.
- Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF): CHF 100,000 was allocated from the Federation's DREF to support the National Society in its initial response. Unearmarked funds to replenish DREF are encouraged.
