However, an air-drop of food to 200,000 people on Wednesday in the eastern town of Deir al-Zor, which is besieged by Islamic State, a jihadi group that the United Nations has no contact with, ran into problems, Egeland said.

Of the 21 palettes dropped by parachute, four were damaged, seven landed in areas that cannot be reached in a 'no man's land', while 10 remain unaccounted for, Bettina Luescher of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) said.

'We have never done high-altitude drops in Syria. There were high winds, some parachutes did not open,' she told Reuters.

'We are working and will try again,' Luescher said.

2. I wonder how many of those "lost" pallets contained weapons for

the 'rebels' and weren't actually lost at all...
