Wielding sticks and clubs, starving Haitians stormed a food distribution centre yesterday as anger over the failure to deliver aid boiled over.

Dozens of desperate survivors had been waiting ten days for food to reach their tented camp in Port-au-Prince.

Finally they snapped, and scrambled over 8ft walls to help themselves from a United Nations warehouse filled with rice, cooking oil, dried beans, salt and protein biscuits.
Volunteers of a U.S. charity who had planned to hand out the aid could only look on helplessly as 50 tons of food disappeared.

Aid is pouring into Haiti, but many people in the 500 makeshift camps around the capital are furious that they have still received no food or water.

Thousands of U.S. and UN troops have been deployed to provide security but a police chief warned yesterday that gangs had begun robbing and looting and that women were being raped.
