What are the main sticking points in the ceasefire talks?

I just saw the report about the new ceasefire proposal failing in the latest round of talks. I’m trying to understand what the actual sticking points are this time, since the humanitarian corridor situation seems to be getting worse by the day.

I heard a regional negotiator list the sticking points as who controls the relief corridors, how to verify it, and how long the guarantees last. The practical stuff keeps tripping up on the ground—paperwork, trucks stuck at border posts, and the time it takes to move a unit through a checkpoint.

A few weeks ago I helped coordinate a small aid run. Trucks sat at a border for two days because of last minute paperwork changes. By the time the convoy finally moved, a lot of villages had already run out of medicine. The delay hurt more than any political point.

I’m not sure the problem is only the plan. It might be trust and urgency. Even with monitors, who checks them when shots ring out? It often feels like the clock is against any real relief, and the corridor becomes a rumor.

Another thread I heard mentioned a timeline and a withdrawal pace, but then someone says sanctions if it slips. It sounds like leverage, not care for civilians. I’m wary this becomes more about optics than actually letting aid through.
