QuoteThe United Nations food distribution centers in the Gaza Strip have been shut down as Palestinians struggle with a severe food shortage.

The closure came after a strict Israeli blockade of the coastal strip depleted the United Nations' food reserves, AP reported on Saturday.

Israel toughened its siege on the Gaza Strip nearly two weeks ago.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called on Israel to open the borders to allow humanitarian aid to reach the Gazans. In a statement, he said measures that increase the suffering of Gaza's civilians "are unacceptable and should cease immediately."

The UN Relief and Works Agency distributes food to some 750,000 of Gaza residents.
