The strongest earthquake<\/span><\/a> in 25 years rattled the country of Taiwan on April 3, 2024. As of Saturday, April 6, <\/span>over a thousand people<\/span><\/a> were reported injured, 400 remained trapped, and six people were still missing. <\/span>Taiwan is <\/span>still feeling the aftershocks<\/span><\/a> of the 7.4 magnitude earthquake, second only to one in 1999 that reached 7.7. The death count has reached 13.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a brave effort to protect the lives of Taiwan\u2019s youngest citizens, four nurses in the Ma Ch\u00e9rie Postpartum Care Center in Taipei <\/span>jumped into action<\/span><\/a> during the strong earthquake instead of fleeing for their own safety. A video recording of their actions was <\/span>published by The Guardian<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
