A nurse identified by AP as Razia Noreen saves a baby during a fire at a major government hospital in Pakistan’s capital, according to an AP exclusive reported by multiple outlets. She had been checking on newborn patients and preparing injections when she notices flames coming through a window.
AP reports that Noreen focuses on the immediate danger and takes action to rescue the child, but she later says she wishes she could have saved more people. The outlets present her account of what she saw and what she attempted to do in the moments after the fire begins. The coverage emphasizes her role in getting at least one newborn out of harm’s way, while also pointing to the broader tragedy and the limits of what medical staff can accomplish amid fast-moving emergencies.
Both reports rely on the same AP exclusive and describe the same sequence: routine care for newborns, the sudden appearance of fire, and the nurse’s efforts to protect the baby she manages to reach. The differing emphasis across outlets centers on her personal account and the gap between the rescue and the total number of victims, rather than on new additional facts.
