answer text <p>The UK recently announced £170 million of funding to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen for the financial year 2018/19. This funding will provide life-saving food, medicine (including antibiotics), clean water and sanitation to millions of people facing disease and hunger in Yemen. Our funding to UNICEF, the UN’s Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund and to our NGO partners through our Yemen Multisector Humanitarian Response Programme all contribute to improving the quality and availability of healthcare and medical supplies. We have also taken a leading role in calling on all parties to allow unhindered humanitarian and commercial access, including for medical supplies, as well as food and fuel, across Yemen.</p><p>Last financial year, we provided over £8 million in targeted cholera funding to UNICEF and the International Organization for Migration. 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.</p>
