Going Home to Gaza
(TIME Europe) Matt Rees - Tehila Cohen, 10, lost both legs when a roadside bomb blew up her school bus near the Jewish village of Kfar Darom in the Gaza district 22 months ago. Her sister Orit, 13, and brother Yisrael, 8, each lost one leg. After living near Tel Aviv for 21 months during the children's rehabilitation, the Cohen family with eight children is now back home. "If you believe this is your land, you know you belong here," says Ophir, the father. In the past two years, 242 new families have moved into the 20 Jewish villages in Gaza, adding to the 1,155 families there. Only 25 families have left.
