(Guardian-UK) Emma Beals and Nick Hopkins - The UN has hired scores of friends and political associates of Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, as part of its relief operation in the country, according to documents leaked to the Guardian.

Only 13% of WHO supplies reached areas controlled by forces opposed to the regime.
