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 flotilla of ships carrying tons of supplies for the Gaza Strip will set sail for the blockaded territory today, the organiser said.
The sailing has been delayed several times. If the ships set sail from waters off Cyprus on schedule, they will reach the area tomorrow.
The Israeli army says the ships will be intercepted before they reach Gaza's coast and towed to an Israeli port. It says activists will be given the choice of being deported or jailed, and the cargo will be transferred to Gaza for distribution after a security check.
The organiser, Dror Feiler, told Army Radio today that the hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists aboard the ships would passively resist if Israeli seamen boarded the vessels.
