The only refuge for KFC lovers in the Gaza strip is to get the food delivered via tunnels linking the besieged land to Egypt.

The tunnel has also been used to smuggle arms and other goods, the Mirror reports.

According to the report, the Palestinians residing in Gaza have to pay more than double the amount and wait until three hours to finally get a bite into their meal, provided the delivery boy does not get caught by the Hamas guards.

A spokesman said that the delay in sending meals is either because the Hamas check the meals or the taxi delivering Sinai orders gets late.

However, the Palestinians enjoy their meal as a student Abou Fares said that the meal tastes delicious, even if it is cold.
