Cave Dwellers to Receive New Homes

Abed Raba, a Palestinian farmer who lives in a cave on the outskirts of Jerusalem lights a cigarette, on 18 August 2008.

Raba has lived in this cave since 1985 after his father, who lived there before the establishment of the alleged state of Israel in 1948, died.

Today, the Jewish authorities are set to move Raba from the cave, to put him in a nice home; as new equality homes are being built in the area.
