Second Australian repatriation flight leaves Israel

Описание: A second Australian repatriation flight has left Tel Aviv.

Further repatriation flights are being organised by the government after security concerns forced flights on Saturday to be cancelled.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong would not say how many flights were due to depart or how many passengers were expected but did confirm the flights would be a mix of commercial charter and military flights.

Ms Wong strongly encouraged Australians in Lebanon to consider leaving.

The Foreign Minister also announced Australia is providing an initial $10 million in humanitarian assistance for civilians affected by the conflict in Gaza.
