U.S. sends aid to Georgia

Two U.S. military transport planes have arrived in Georgia carrying second load of humanitarian aid in the capital city of Tbilisi. The aid is meant to show Washington's support for its ally.

A third shipment of blankets, medicine and medical equipment was expected to be flown in on August 15. U.S. has pledged almost a million dollar worth of aid materials.

Meanwhile, the first shipment of humanitarian aid from Poland has been delayed at Warsaw's airport. Four tones of aid is being donated by Caritas Polska, Poland's largest charity organization along with defense and health ministries. Caritas Polska said it would send aid amounting to EUR 40,000.
