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.Gunmen lobbed four hand grenades into a United Nations office at the World Health Organisation building in Baghdad, causing damage but no casualties, the UN said last night. Iraq's official news agency INA said one of the attackers, who was captured, was an Iranian agent. It was the first reported attack on the UN in Iraq since the implementation of a food-for-oil deal started last year, easing trade sanctions imposed during the 1990-91 Gulf War.
