The fight against COVID-19 is taking a heavy toll on China's frontline medical staff. Dedicated nurses have shared poignant photos of their faces, etched with clear signs of exhaustion from the relentless battle.
As Trouw.nl reported last week, six Chinese healthcare workers have died from the virus, with more than 1,700 doctors and nurses infected since then.
A chronic lack of protective equipment heightens infection risks for these heroes. Essential materials are being reused despite protocols calling for single-use replacement.
Local media report that Wuhan staff are enduring extreme overtime shifts. These images capture nurses' faces imprinted with deep marks and bruises from prolonged protective gear use.
