Syria at odds over control of aid distribution -envoys - chicagotribune.com

UPDATE 1-UN, Syria at odds over control of aid distribution -envoys - chicagotribune.com: "* U.N.-backed peace plan calls for unhindered aid delivery. * UN office wants to jointly manage aid to ensure neutrality  By Louis Charbonneau

UNITED NATIONS, May 14 (Reuters) - Damascus wants to manage the delivery of all humanitarian aid to a million people in need of assistance as a result of the 14-month-old conflict in Syria, but the United Nations insists on having some control, envoys say. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and Syria have been negotiating for weeks on a plan for the distribution of aid throughout the country, but U.N. envoys familiar with the talks said the government and the U.N. agency are deadlocked on the issue of who will be in charge.
