GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — It took Nader Abu Turki, a freed prisoner from the West Bank who was deported to Gaza, more than a year to realize how nostalgic people in Gaza miss the desserts made in his home city of Nablus.
So, he teamed up with another ex-prisoner, Hammouda Salah from Nablus, who was also expelled to Gaza as part of an exchange deal between Hamas and Israel in 2011, and opened a beachside shop selling nabulsia, the famed kenafah dessert which originated in Salah's hometown.
