A new video came to light reflecting selflessness in a person and love for humankind. The video was of nurses protecting newborn babies in a neonatal center.

The Turkish nurses identified were Devlet Nizam and Gazwl Caliskan. They both can be seen protecting babies in the neonatal critical care unit instead running for their life and vacating the building when tremors were felt.

The video was shared by Turkish lawmaker Fatma Sahin on Twitter. She captioned the video, "Our paramedics are amazing people. Is there any word to describe the efforts made by Nurse State Nizam and Gazel Çalışkan to protect tiny babies amid 7.7 earthquakes in the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital?"

The video further depicts the nurses clutching the baby incubators firmly in order to prevent them from collapsing. The video has gone viral on social media platforms. The comments started pouring in. One of the users said, "May god protect all humanity....my salute and deep gratitude to those brave nurses." Second wrote, "Salute to brave nurses for their unconditional love for human beings." Another user added, "Hats off to these nurses. They really protected the babies well without any fear in mind."

Turkey and Syria suffered fatal casualties and the death toll has risen to over 33,000 with heavy destruction of infrastructure. However, with the rescue operation in place, the numbers are increasing. Vice President Fuat Oktay pointed out that 131 suspects are identified so far as responsible for the collapse of thousands of buildings in the 10 affected provinces.

Oktay added, 'We will follow this up meticulously until the necessary judicial process is concluded, especially for buildings that suffered heavy damage and buildings that caused deaths and injuries."
