Occupied Golan: a happy event in a sad setting
A wedding day is supposed to be a day of great happiness for the bride. But for Nihal Arin, it was bittersweet.

People living in the occupied Golan are prevented from seeing and visiting family members in Syria. A wedding is one of the rare occasions where contact is allowed for family members separated by this state of affairs.

A woman from the groom's side of the family runs towards the demilitarized zone, overcome by emotion at the chance to see relatives she has not seen in years.
