Major concerns remain over the distribution of food aid despite steady progress in Haiti earthquake recovery efforts, United Nations officials say. Considerable logistical restraints have meant large numbers of people suffering from the impact of the devastating Jan. 12 earthquake have not yet received the aid they need, U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes told reporters at U.N. Headquarters in New York Friday. "We have a long way to go before we can feel satisfied about that," Holmes said, adding that potable water is being shipped to the people who need it but there are still big problems in food distribution.
