Junk-food starved Gazans can now order Kentucky Fried Chicken to go thanks to a new smuggling service which brings takeout from Egypt via a network of underground tunnels.

缺乏垃圾食物的加薩人現在可以訂購「肯德基」外送了,多虧一種新的走私服務,可透過地下隧道網絡從埃及送來外送食物。

It’s not exactly "fast" -- taking several hours to arrive, with the Palestinian delivery company behind it charging hefty prices to cover the cost of fuel and transport.

這種外送服務完全不是「速食」,得花費數小時才能送達,而這家巴勒斯坦外送公司索取高額費用,以攤平燃料與運送成本。

"Last chance to order for the Thursday 6:00 pm delivery is Wednesday night," says the Yamama delivery firm on its Facebook page.

「亞馬馬」外送公司在臉書頁面上寫道:「想在週四晚間6時送達,最晚要在週三晚間訂購。」

Yamama then orders the meals from the KFC outlet in the Egyptian city of El-Arish, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) away. (AFP)
