GENEVA - The UN's food relief agency said Friday that little food appeared to have been taken from its warehouses at Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince after earlier reports of looting.

World Food Program spokeswoman Emilia Casella said earlier that local partners had indicated that the agency's warehouses were looted.

But WFP staff who were able to reach a warehouse on Friday morning Haitian time found that food stocks were there.

"I can't say that there has been absolutely no looting but as of this morning Haiti time, our staff on the ground were able to reach the warehouse in question and it was badly damaged," Casella told AFP.

"But the food appears to be there," she added.

The warehouse visited held 6,000 tons of food and was the agency's biggest in the country. The agency said Thursday that it had about 15,000 tons of food in Haiti.

Casella had said earlier that the food agency would have to restock in order to provide urgent food aid for 2 million people affected by the deadly earthquake.

"In an emergency, looting is something that is not unusual," she stressed.

Casella said the agency estimates that some two million people would require urgent food assistance in the coming month.

The UN food agency is examining the possibility of setting up 200 kitchens in the capital, particularly in areas where many homeless people are concentrated.

Each kitchen is expected to feed about 500 people a day, added Casella.

Highlighting challenges faced by relief organizations on the ground, Casella said: "The physical destruction is so great that physically getting from point A to point B with the supplies is not an easy task," she said.

"Getting physically tons and tons of equipments, of food and water is not as instant as Twitter or Skype or 24-hour satellite news," she added.
