What actually governs the checkpoints and access in this humanitarian corridor?

I’m trying to understand how the **humanitarian corridor** set up near our city actually functions on the ground. We keep hearing official statements about its operation, but my cousin who is trying to get medicine through says the checkpoints are unpredictable and the windows for access seem to change daily without clear communication.

I’ve watched it from the side. Some days the gate opens at seven, other days at eleven. Official notices say hours, but in practice you only know when you arrive, and the window changes without warning. It feels like this humanitarian corridor exists in theory and at the checkpoints it’s chaos on the ground.

My cousin tried to carry medicine through; the checkpoint guy gave a different window every time; the escort says today you can go through or tomorrow not, and there was no clear contact for updates.

If I had to guess, it looks like a scheduled route with short notice slots and rotating rosters. The phone line is slow, the hotline often returns empty, and bottlenecks shift with staffing and weather. I even hear rumors of a casual back route people try, then that gets shut down. Not sure what to trust.

Could the real issue be the notices themselves or that medicine isn’t being prioritized, rather than the corridor?
