At least 2,290 livestock are dead with many others facing starvation after a blizzard brought heavy snow to a county in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Wednesday night.

Roads to Wulate Back Banner bordering the Republic of Mongolia are still blocked by one-meter deep snow, according to the county government.

Wednesday's blizzard was the worst of seven snow storms to have hit the county since November.
