The aim is to reach 30,000 families (150,000 people) in one month.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Thanks to the influx of fresh supplies entering the Strip, WFP has also been able to get bakeries up and running in the south \u2013 eight old and 5 new ones \u2013 and prepare hot meals and deliver ready-to-eat meals to families in shelters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The humanitarian situation in the West Bank is also critical.
