UN-led teams in Haiti are ending their searches for people trapped in collapsed buildings and some teams are starting "to go home," a spokeswoman says.
"The rescue teams are concentrating more and more on humanitarian aid for those who need it," said Elisabeth Byrs, a spokeswoman for the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Some teams "which are exhausted are starting to go home," she said, while teams equipped with heavy equipment were "continuing to pull out corpses".

International search and rescue teams coordinated by the United Nations found 121 people alive under the rubble by earlier this week, a record number in such a disaster, according to OCHA.
Tens of thousands displaced
At least 75,000 people are thought to have been killed when the massive 7.0 magnitude quake struck Port-au-Prince last week.
The government of Haiti estimates that some 200,000 people have been injured and one million displaced by the disaster.
The UN says an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 people are displaced in the capital, and two million have been left in need of food assistance.
UN peacekeepers are beginning to set up massive displaced persons camps on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince to house 400,000 people whose homes were destroyed.
Tens of thousands are currently living in squalid conditions amid the ruins of the city, but Haitian authorities hope to move many of them to the camps next week.
