Coronavirus conversations: Doctors under pressure

We continue to bring people together facing the coronavirus with shared experiences. Today we’ll hear a conversation between doctors in the UK and South Africa who have decided to leave, or are thinking of leaving their front line jobs because of the pressures of the pandemic and other challenges at work.

And there have been more casualties in Gaza and Israel as the heavy exchange of fire between Palestinian militants and the Israeli army continues. People on both sides have been killed. We continue to answer audience questions about the situation with the help of our regional experts, and hear messages from different communities and religious groups about how they are affected.

We hear from our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Swapneil Parikh in Mumbai. He discusses the situation there with a surge in infections and the reports of a rare fungus infection diagnosed among Covid-19 patients. We also hear from citizens who are challenging the official tally of coronavirus deaths in India, counting bodies being cremated in their areas.
