(CNN) -- The United Nations' special coordinator for Middle East peace expressed his concerns Thursday over reports of Hamasbreaking into charity offices in Gaza and closing them down, a statement said.
"This targeting of NGOs, including UN partner organizations, is unacceptable, violating accepted norms of a free society and harming the Palestinian people," said Robert Serry, U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process.
