Gazans can now order Kentucky Fried Chicken

An enterprising Gaza entrepreneur has hooked up with a counterpart in Egypt to provide restaurant take-out services to Gaza from El Arish, Egypt.

A Gaza food service company director, Khalil Efranji, stated that "a company that offers delivery service started about two weeks ago to take food orders from the Egyptian town of El Arish to the Gaza Strip, and these requests are for meals from the worldwide Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant."

He added: "The idea of ​​transferring meals from El Arish to Gaza came after repeated requests from people who are accustomed to travel, and eating in restaurants around the world""

The time it takes to cover the distance between El Arish and Gaza is less than three hours and the demand is great, according to Efranji.

It appears that the meals are smuggled in via tunnels; I don't believe that Egypt would allow food delivery through the Rafah crossings.

It is nice to know that starving Gazans have an alternative to basic food commodities like flour, rice and Chanukah chocolate coins.
