Some fried chicken lovers in Gaza are paying a high price to get their fix of KFC. According to a report from the Christian Science Monitor, a local business called Al-Yamama has started importing the fast food via tunnels from Egypt to avoid an Israeli blockade.
The business uses tunnels that were initially created to bring medical aid, construction materials, weapons and ammunition into Gaza. For the cost of about $30, however, locals can now enjoy a bucket of Colonel Sanders' finest. Orders come from about 35 miles away and delivery takes roughly 3 hours, the Monitor reports.
On regular customer Rafat Shororo told the Monitor that he has been happy to support the smuggling business: "It has been a dream, and this company has made my dream come true."
