Duty, not fame: Pakistani nurse recalls rescuing newborns from deadly hospital blaze

A Christian nurse named Noreen entered a burning government hospital nursery in Pakistan to save newborns during a fire that killed 14 babies. She says she acted as a mother and as part of her duty, not for heroics, and she remains traumatized and sleep-deprived. In the aftermath, eight officials have been suspended after a government inquiry found serious fire-safety and emergency-response failures, while Noreen’s brave actions have drawn nationwide praise.
