Relief aid from Samaritan's Purse leaving for Nepal

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Planes packed with relief aid from Samaritan’s Purse will leave Charlotte Douglas International Airport Tuesday to help victims of the deadly earthquake in Nepal.

Samaritan's Purse has already delivered food, blankets and hygiene kits to people in Nepal.

They're also training people on proper sanitation.
