Humanitarian Aid Reaches Umm Qasr

The British humanitarian aid ship Sir Galahad arrives in the Iraqi port of Umm Qasr. Scuffles break out as the food and water shipments are distributed, and some Iraqis worry they would be left empty-handed. NPR's Jacki Lyden speaks with BBC correspondent Owen Bennett-Jones in Kuwait City.
