A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar near the Chinese border on Thursday, but the most heartwarming story emerged from Ruili City in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Nurses at a maternity center sprang into action, cradling newborn babies to safety as the ground shook beneath them.
The quake, centered just across the border, sent tremors cascading through the region. 'We didn't think—we just acted,' one nurse told reporters. Video footage shows medical staff using their bodies as human shields while securing incubators and infant cribs.
All newborns were safely evacuated within minutes, with no injuries reported. The quick response highlights China's disaster preparedness and the everyday bravery of healthcare workers. Ruili residents later shared viral posts praising the nurses as 'guardian angels in scrubs.'
