US sends second plane loaded with aid for Gaza

White House Principal Deputy Secretary Olivia Dalton says the US has organized a second aid flight for Gaza with 36,000 pounds (16,329 kilograms) of food and medical supplies.

An Air Force C-17 aircraft delivered the items to Egypt, where they were to be transported into Gaza and distributed by United Nations agencies, Dalton says.

USAID administrator Samantha Power is in Egypt to meet with local officials and Egyptian and international humanitarian organizations.
