Janti Soeripto on the Biden Admin’s Aid to Gaza Talks: We Have Yet to See Some of that Really Happen on the Ground

‘I would love to see some action behind those words’

EXCERPT:

SOERIPTO: “So, you know, I would love to see some action behind those words because we're not seeing it on the ground. We are not seeing more supplies coming in. We're now hearing noises about crossings, more crossings opening, potentially better access to the north from the south, that would all be incredibly welcome -- long, long overdue but very welcome. But we have yet to see some of that really happen on the ground and to see more details, when this Erez Crossing is actually opening, for whom it is opening, when the port can be ready. But actually, there are thousands of trucks with food and water and medical supplies on the border in Rafah. I saw it myself two weeks ago, thousands of trucks waiting. You can just let them in."
