A Syrian airlift?

Seems when help was needed after World War II, the United States was able to execute a massive airlift of food, water and medicine to the residents of the besieged city of West Berlin. For nearly a year, supplies from American airplanes sustained more than 2 million people there.

Wish someone could explain why that wouldn’t work is Syria. Or is it that the Syrian people aren’t worth the effort?
