RAMALLAH, West Bank — As of the evening of Aug. 30, the Palestinian post office in the southern West Bank city of Jericho was still busy sorting 10 tons of mail. The Palestinian Authority had distributed only half of the massive backlog it received in mid-August from Jordan when the Israeli authorities finally released it after an eight-year delay.
Ramadan Ghazzawi, the Palestinian Post official overseeing the sorting process, told Al-Monitor that workers in the post office in Jericho and many other offices across the West Bank have been working day and night, adding, “We still need another three weeks to get through all the mail and distribute it to West Bank post offices.”
