Israeli Arab Amira Jabarin, right, sits by her daughter Rim, 11, as she recovers after a heart transplant at the Beilinson Hospital in the city of Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv, Wednesday July 30, 2003. Jabarin received her heart from Kawthar Zuabi, 13, one of three Israeli children who received life saving organ transplants from Kaher Uda, a Palestinian boy from the West Bank. He fell from a roof. Doctors at the hospital carried out a rare operation known as a domino transplant. The lungs and heart were transplanted into Zuabi suffering from cystic fibrosis, who also received a new heart although her own heart was healthy. Her healthy heart was then transplanted into Jabarin. (AP Photo/Eitan Hess-Ashkenazi)
