U.N. has high hopes for aid from Syria truce but airdrop flops
A planned cessation of hostilities in Syria from Saturday night is set to rescue the civilian population from "the abyss" and end the "black chapter" of sieges, Jan Egeland, special advisor to the U.N. Syria envoy, said on Thursday.

However, an air-drop of food to 200,000 people in the besieged town of Deir al-Zor on Wednesday ran into problems, with all the 21 palettes dropped by parachute being damaged, going off-target or unaccounted for, a spokeswoman for the U.N. World Food Program said.
