A video of two Turkish nurses going out of their way to protect infants during the 7.7 magnitude earthquake has surfaced online. The clip was recorded on the CCTV camera at a hospital in Gaziantep. The nurses - identified as Devlet Nizam and Gazwl Caliskan - decided to protect the babies in the neonatal intensive care unit instead of vacating the building when the earthquake tremors were felt.
In the clip, the nurses enter the intensive care unit as soon as things start to shake up. The two are seen holding the baby incubators firmly. Their efforts prevented the incubators from tripping over.
The video was shared on Twitter by Turkey politician Fatma Sahin
Monday's 7.8 magnitude quake, with several powerful aftershocks across Turkey and Syria, ranks as the world's seventh deadliest natural disaster this century, approaching the 31,000 killed by a quake in neighbouring Iran in 2003.
With a death count so far of 24,617 inside Turkey, it is the country's deadliest earthquake since 1939. More than 3,500 have died in Syria, where tolls have not been updated since Friday.
