Doctors across England began a five-day strike today, impacting National Health Service (NHS) services. Resident doctors are protesting over pay disputes, hoping to secure better compensation.
The NHS is working to maintain essential services despite the industrial action. Officials are attempting to minimize disruption and ensure patient safety during the strike.
Concerns are rising about the broader impact of the strikes, with some suggesting they highlight a need for the UK to do more regarding the conflict in Gaza. Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned that unless doctors feel the impact of the current situation, strikes could escalate.
Labour, the opposition party, currently lacks a clear solution to address the doctors' demands, further complicating the situation. The government faces pressure to resolve the dispute and prevent further walkouts.
