From Ryan Parry, US Correspondent in New York
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.


the world´s richest nation lets Americans starve while they arrogantly observe petty regulations.

"Everyone is revolted by the chaotic shambles the US is making of this crisis. Guys from Unicef are walking around spitting blood.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 Ministry of Defence said: "We understand there was a glitch and these packs have been impounded by the US Department of Agriculture under regulations relating to the import and export of meat.


"The situation is changing all the time and at our last meeting on Friday we were told progress was being made in relation to the release of these packs. The Americans certainly haven´t indicated to us that there are any more problems and they haven´t asked us to take them back."


Food from Spain and Italy is also being held because it fails to meet US standards and has been judged unfit for human consumption.


And Israeli relief agencies are furious that thousands of gallons of pear juice are to be destroyed because it has been judge
