In the wake of a powerful M7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Taiwan's east coast on April 3, 2024, Taiwanese nurses have been hailed as heroes for their quick-thinking actions to protect newborns at a hospital. The earthquake, which is the strongest to hit the region in 25 years, resulted in the death of 9 people and injured 1,000. Amid the chaos, hospital nurses were seen rushing to safeguard the babies in their care, with some holding onto their cots and others grabbing incubators. The moment was captured on hospital surveillance footage and has since garnered praise on the internet. Two Indians who were near the epicentre are still missing.
