  1. Je compatis et j'espère de tout coeur que tous ces anges soient sauvés.
    J'aurais aimé que l'occident soit aussi attentionné et touché par les enfants de Gaza assassinés froidement par l'occupant.

  2. this nurses deserve a medal and 1 month holidays paid full wherever they want to go. yes its their job but they did it galantly.

  3. Well trained and brave to remain focused on the job to overcome fear of own's life. I recall my experience in Taiwan when an earthquake of this size hit my instinct was to run outside and surely I did act on my instinct. The flight response is so real and strong it's hard to override.

  4. when everywhere you see chaos and hate I always trust that our nurses/ medical staff will abide by their oath to protect and prioritize everybody's wellness
