Some of the medical supplies had been crushed, while a few containers had leaked during transport. Darius's men separated the damaged items from the usable ones and made sure neither side received only the worthless goods. The process took longer than Eric expected. There were bottles of water, canned food, dry provisions, basic medical supplies, batteries, and other household necessities.
