A young nurse became a national hero in Lebanon after rescuing three newborn babies from an ICU and carrying them to safety following the massive Beirut port explosion. Now she has returned to the hospital to tell her story.
St. George Hospital University Medical Center is one of the oldest and most advanced in Beirut. But on Tuesday, it became a nightmarish scene when the blast wave from a powerful explosion about 1km away swept through the building and turned vast swathes of the city into a wasteland.
Young nurse Pamela Zeinoun stepped up to the plate and her moment of bravery was captured in a viral image by photojournalist Bilal Jawich.
