Today is the second day of the 5-day doctors' strike in England. Non-emergency services have been affected due to the doctors' strike, while the emergency departments of some hospitals have also been temporarily closed.
In addition, the doctors' strike has increased pressure on hospitals due to a severe flu wave and patients are also facing difficulties.
Media reports are saying that about 70,000 operations and appointments are feared to be postponed due to the doctors' strike.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned the striking doctors not to leave patients helpless.
