A British soldier sits on a pile of water containers on the British ship Sir Galahad at the port of Umm Qasr in southern Iraq on March 28, 2003. The arrival of the ship, which is carrying 650 tonnes of humanitarian aid in the form of food, medicine and water, has been delayed by storms and the discovery of mines in the port area. Tensions are rising between relief agencies and the UK military over the best way to distribute aid in Iraq following chaotic scenes of Iraqis scrambling for food thrown from the back of a truck. — Reuters
