Nurses truly are angels among us. They sacrifice daily and risk their own lives to care for the most vulnerable.

In this heroic story, these brave women could have run to safety but instead they chose to shield the helpless infants in their care.

Security footage shows the dramatic moment when the earthquake shook the maternity center.

One nurse dropped to her knees to protect a baby while her colleague held onto infants in their cribs to keep them safe.

Thanks to their quick thinking, all the babies and staff escaped without injury.

The earthquake has taken more than 3,000 lives in Myanmar, with the death toll still rising.

Please keep the people of Myanmar in your prayers as they face this terrible disaster.
