"The shutdown of backup generators would place the lives of thousands of patients at risk," the UN humanitarian office said on its website.

It comes after several aid agencies have called for access to Gaza to provide humanitarian assistance including fuel and water.
The current conflict makes it the deadliest of the five Gaza wars.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the conflict in Gaza has claimed the lives of 2,670 Palestinians and left 9,600 injured.
