Getting a KFC home delivery in
the Gaza Strip is not easy…there are no branches in the Palestinian territory.
The only way is to import meals
via tunnels linking the besieged land to Egypt.
These have also been used to
smuggle arms as well as other goods.
Palestinians desperate for a fix
of the Colonel Sanders treat pay more than double and wait up to three hours
for their meal.
That’s if the delivery boy hasn’t
been held up by Hamas guards. A firm
called Al-Yamama charges £18 for a family meal costing £7.50 in Egypt.
A spokesman said: “Sometimes
Hamas checks meal, sometimes the taxi picking up Sinai orders is late.”
But Palestinians, with some of
the most tightly controlled borders on Earth, don’t care.
Student Abou Fares, 22, said:
“It’s delicious, even if it’s cold.”
