Rescue teams continue to search among the ruins of a government hospital in the Turkish city of Iskenderun, part of which was flattened by the devastating earthquake that killed nearly 4,000 people on Monday. Nurses in the hospital refused to leave their patients during the tragic moment. “Suddenly, the building started shaking, and the earthquake gradually increased. My friends and I didn’t try to leave our patients. Then we heard a terrible noise, and the building started to collapse,” a nurse added.
