Farah Abu Halima, 3, arrived in Escondido from Gaza back in November. She has scars on her face and on her abdomen, but Friday morning she began her long road to recovery.

Her caretakers, a host family in Escondido, said her home in Gaza was bombed in January 2009 during an Israeli air strike, and she is lucky to be alive.

"An F-16 with white phosphorus went over the roof and rained white phosphorus and killed at that spot six people from the family of 17," said Amal Atieh, a nurse who is Farah's host mother.
