Up In Flames --Tons of British aid donated to help Hurricane Katrina victims to

be BURNED by Americans 19 Sep 2005 Hundreds of tons of British food aid shipped

to America for starving Hurricane Katrina survivors is to be burned. US red tape

is stopping it from reaching hungry evacuees. Instead tons of the badly needed

Nato ration packs, the same as those eaten by British troops in Iraq, has been

condemned as unfit for human consumption. And unless the bureaucratic mess is

cleared up soon, it could be sent for incineration. One British aid worker last

night called the move " sickening senselessness " and said furious colleagues were

" spitting blood " . The food, which cost British taxpayers millions, is sitting

idle in a huge warehouse after the Food and Drug Agency recalled it when it had

already left to be distributed. Scores of lorries headed back to a warehouse in

Little Rock, Arkansas, to dump it at an FDA incineration plant.
