Our funding of £170 million to Yemen this financial year (2018/19) includes support to UNICEF to provide access to a safe water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; as well as to other programmes that deliver a range of activities to improve water access alongside other priorities, including our Yemen Multisector Humanitarian Response Programme, the Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund, and Yemen's Social Fund for Development.

Our support of £205 million to Yemen in the financial year 2017/18 included funding aimed at providing clean water and sanitation for approximately 1.2 million people. UK funding also provided fuel across the country to keep water systems working in major cities.
