Video: Gaza's first food truck rolls on
Al-Monitor met with brothers Moath and Mahmoud al-Hasnat, who introduced Gaza to Karmoshty, the coastal enclave's first mobile food cart.
Two years ago, brothers Moath and Mahmoud al-Hasnat introduced Gaza to Karmoshty, the coastal enclave's first mobile food cart.
The cart shares its name with the brothers' signature fried-chicken dish.
“[It’s] a crunchy chicken breast,” said Moath al-Hasnat, now 26. “It’s like Kentucky chicken.”
The brothers began the business after efforts to find jobs elsewhere didn't pan out, amid high rates of unemployment in Gaza, a problem that has only intensified in the past year. In 2018, the enclave’s jobless rate was around 54%. Nearly three in four young Gazans remain unemployed.
