Watch How Turkish hospital nurses protected newborns from earthquakes


On the internet, a video of two Turkish nurses risking their lives to safeguard infants during the 7.7-magnitude earthquake has surfaced. The video was captured by a hospital's CCTV system in Gaziantep. When the earthquake struck, the nurses, who went by the names Gazwl Caliskan and Devlet Nizam, decided to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit rather than evacuate.

The nurses enter the intensive care unit as soon as the situation begins to deteriorate in the video. The baby incubators are clearly held by the two of them. The incubators did not fall over as a result of their efforts.

The video was shared on Twitter by Turkey politician Fatma Sahin

The 7.8-magnitude quake that struck on Monday and caused a number of powerful aftershocks in Turkey and Syria makes it the seventh deadliest natural disaster of this century, surpassing the 31,000 people killed by a quake in Iran in 2003.

It is the deadliest earthquake in Turkey since 1939, resulting in 24,617 deaths so far. In Syria, where death tolls have not been updated since Friday, more than 3,500 people have died.
