answer text: The UK provided over £8 million in targeted cholera support to UNICEF and the International Organization for Migration in the financial year 2017/18. This support aimed to provide medical supplies to half a million people, safe access to chlorinated water to 300,000 people, and rehabilitate medical facilities used by 250,000 people. DFID did not target funding specifically towards cholera treatment before the cholera outbreak started in 2017. However, our funding to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) services has supported the prevention of cholera since 2015. In the financial year 2016/17, our funding of £112 million in aid to Yemen included support for WaSH services for over 670,000 people. In the financial year 2015/16, our funding of £85 million in aid to Yemen included support for WaSH services for over 1.2 million people.
