First of three U.S. military flights carrying humanitarian aid set to arrive in Gaza – UPI.com

The first of three U.S. military aircraft carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza was scheduled to touch down Tuesday in Egypt’s North Sinai from where it will be trucked by the United Nations across the border into the strip, the White House said.

The airlifts into the city of El Arish, about 30 miles southwest of Gaza, include medical supplies, food and cold weather gear to help protect the large numbers of Palestinians in temporary shelters from approaching wintery and wet weather, according to a senior administration official.
