Aid lorries finally get through
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.A BRITISH armoured vehicle escorting a United Nations aid convoy waits yesterday to get through a Bosnian Croat HVO army checkpoint on the way to the Muslim stronghold of Zenica. The convoy was 'testing' the reopened road for relief supplies through Crotian territory to central Bosnia. It was the first to pass through the area since 24 October, Reuter reports. The group, which started in Tomislavgrad and left 10 trucks in Vitez, passed along the road closed after the killing a month ago of a Danish driver during Croat-Muslim fighting. A spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said that a second aid convoy from Banja Luka, with 120 tons of food, had also got through to Travnik.
