HOLON, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 15: Reassured by her mother Hoda's touch, Tara, a six-month-old Kurdish Christian girl from Iraq, recovers in intensive care ward after her emergency heart surgery at the Wolfson Medical Center October 15, 2007 in Holon, near Tel Aviv. Tara is one of dozens of Iraqi children who have been rushed to Israel this year for life-saving heart surgery organized by the Christian Shevet Achim group and the Israeli-based organization "Save A Child's Heart". Since it was founded in 1996, "Save A Child's Heart" has treated more than 1,700 children from 28 countries around the world bringing most of them to Israel for their surgery.
