Australia will provide AU$250,000 in humanitarian aid following the adverse humanitarian situation caused by severe floods in Mongolia.
Australia will send assistance through the Mongolian Red Cross Society and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Mongolia, which support those affected.
"Our thoughts are with people who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods as a result of the floods. Australia and Mongolia have a history of helping each other through difficult times. As a third neighbor and true friend, Australia is committed to supporting Mongolia's response," said Australian Ambassador to Mongolia Katie Smith.
The Mongolian Red Cross Society will continue distributing food and non-food items to displaced families, supporting the Emergency Committee and other authorities with damage and impact assessments, and providing psychosocial support and referral services. UNFPA will provide clothing kits that contain essential items to help women and girls maintain proper hygiene after displacement.
