Volunteers collecting and packing supplies for shipping to Ukraine have been praised for their generosity in Derry.
Ulster Unionist Alderman Ryan McCready, who travelled to Poland with some humanitarian aid last week, said the Ukrainian people were "overwhelmed" with the support they had received.
It comes as a second lorry full of donations from across Derry and Donegal left the YMCA premises in Drumahoe on Sunday.

"What I can say from the Ukrainian people that I've met is that they're overwhelmed," Alderman McCready said.
"They really are emotional from all the support that they're getting from the city and the people.
"Thank you Londonderry YMCA for letting us take over the hall and for providing rooms and for going above and beyond to facilitate Foyle Aid
"Thank you to all the groups and voluntary organisations, the local businesses, elected reps who have all come and given their time sorting, packing and loading."
Glen Miller, who transported the first lorry to Poland last week, said the trip was "very worthwhile".
He said: "We are now able to reassure people that the generous donations that they've made and things they've gathered up and the work and effort they've put in for this second lorry is really going to people that need it.
"It was humbling to meet with them and speak with them in their time of need."
