Marsh Arabs' aid drying up
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.Hundreds of children face death from severe diarrhoea as the exodus of refugees from the marshlands of south-east Iraq, fleeing Saddam Hussein's soldiers, has almost exhausted aid funds, the Conservative MP Emma Nicholson warned yesterday, writes Stephen Goodwin.
Ms Nicholson, who chairs the Amar Appeal, the only external agency allowed by Iran to work in refugee camps, said: 'Children are dying every day and disease is sweeping the camps.' After spending pounds 1.5m, Amar is almost out of money.
