Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Drought has left 13 million people on the brink of a full-scale humanitarian crisis in West Africa.
Oxfam said tens of thousands of people in the Sahel region could die in the coming months if the international community did not distribute aid immediately.
Western governments and aid agencies risked making the mistakes of last year in the Horn of Africa, where the famine may have been less severe had there been a swifter response, the charity added.
The next harvest in the region is due in October and the United Nations estimates that more than £450m of aid is needed.
