Water purification systems and supplies of bottled water would be the most effective immediate aid to prevent the outbreak of cholera and dysentery. Lack of access to clean water can quickly lead to the spread of water-borne illnesses, and providing clean water is crucial in preventing these diseases. The other options, while important for overall health and wellbeing, do not address the immediate threat of water-borne illnesses.
