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.Aid group Doctors Without Borders is pulling out of Somalia after 22 years because of attacks on staff.
The group, also known by its French name Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), said that armed groups and civilian leaders in Somalia "support, tolerate or condone" killings, assaults and abductions of aid workers.
It said the pull-out will cut off hundreds of thousands of Somali civilians from humanitarian aid.
It comes a month after two Spanish workers from Doctors Without Borders were released after nearly two years in captivity in Somalia.
MSF's international president said that respect for humanitarian principles no longer exists in there.
