The United States Government has made a gift to Hadassah of 4,400,000 pounds of surplus powdered eggs and milk, half of which left for Israel on Friday, where it will be distributed for relief purposes to immigrant camps, orphanages, old age homes and Youth Aliyeh institutions.
The remainder of the aargo–whose total value is $600,000–will be shipped to Israel later this month. The food will be distributed to various institutions in Israel through the Jewish Agency.
